Book is free of ownership marks. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Using Northern Ghana as a case study, this book challenges the invocation of civil society as a tool for building community in the name of development. Far from equating civil society with community, colonial officials used the doctrine of community against African civil society.

In its challenge to current writing on civil society, the study offers an important contribution to African history and development studies EB; African Social Studies Series, 14; 6.25 X 0.75 X 9.25 inches; 268 pages.
