Drawing on a rich range of examples, the book focuses on the imaginative role that the state of exception played in the application of indirect rule during Britishcolonialism and in the legal machinations of the postcolonial state. It reads works by Chinua Achebe, Joyce Cary, Cyprian Ekwensi and Edgar Wallace, together with a range of Nigerian market literature and journalism. | Imagined States by Katherine Isobel Baxter, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
