The Case of a Nursing Father (eBook, ePUB)

Dr. Akhaine was one of the frontline leaders of the prodemocracy movement in Nigeria. He was, at various times, the general secretary of the Campaign for Democracy and the United Action for Democracy in the thick of the antimilitary struggle. Dr. Akhaine earned his PhD in politics at Royal Holloway in University of London in 2004. He is currently a senior lecturer in the Department of Political Science, Lagos State University, and is the chairman of the board of trustees of the Centre for Constitutionalism and Demilitarization. He doubles as the editor of The Constitution, a journal of constitutional development (arguably the leading journal in Nigeria today), and the newly inaugurated Ola Oni Journal of Social Sciences. He is a contributing editor to the UK-based Review of African Political Economy as well as a visiting member of the Guardian editorial board. A 2005 Stanford University fellow on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law (now Draper Hills fellow), he has published in learned journals, such as African Affairs, Review of African Political Economy, Journal of Asia, and African Studies and Political Studies Review. The Case of a Nursing Father, like his previous works, Our Colony and Another Woman of Substance, represents the creative persona of the activist scholar.
