Oil Wealth and Insurgency in Nigeria by Omolade Adunbi (review)

125 African Conflict & Peacebuilding Review 6, no. 2 (Fall 2016), 125–127 Copyright © The Trustees of Indiana University • doi: 10.2979/africonfpeacrevi.6.2.08 framed in terms of a nationalist project, but reading it I found myself reflecting at least as much on Riggan’s focus on citizenship and wishing that this theme had been developed further, if only because it challenges, rather than reinforces, the regime’s own framing. An important contribution to Eritrean studies, Riggan’s study offers the sort of nuance and detail that is rare in Eritrean studies post-2001, but which, for that reason, is all the more needed. The focus on education may put some readers off, but it shouldn’t. Eritrea, though possessing its own distinct trajectory, also brings lessons for all of us thinking about nations, states, and authoritarianism in Africa. It deserves a wide audience.
