Moving beyond nationalist leaders, it highlights the struggles of women traders, school children, ex-servicemen, and coal miners whose aspirations were subsumed beneath the politics of anti-colonial nationalism. The book argues that Nigeria’s educated elite used the language of solidarity – amplified by the nationalist press – to consolidate political power during the 1950s, but that independence also marked the eclipse of many of the social and economic demands that had fuelled the anti-colonial movement. By recovering these neglected voices, \u003cem\u003eIn Solidarity\u003c\/em\u003e offers a new understanding of how the elite capture of decolonisation shaped the foundations of the Nigerian postcolonial state.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ngozi Edeagu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49167775990011,"sku":"9783112236437","price":87.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/in-solidarity-9783112236437","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
