Reseña del libro "Everyday State and Democracy in Africa: Ethnographic Encounters(Ohio Univ pr) (en Inglés)"

Bottom-up case studies, drawn from the perspective of ordinary Africans' experiences with state bureaucracies, structures, and services, reveal how citizens and states define each other.This volume examines contemporary citizens' everyday encounters with the state and democratic processes in Africa. The contributions reveal the intricate and complex ways in which quotidian activities and experiences--from getting an identification card (genuine or fake) to sourcing black-market commodities to dealing with unreliable waste collection--both (re)produce and (re)constitute the state and democracy. This approach from below lends gravity to the mundane and recognizes the value of conceiving state governance not in terms of its stated promises and aspirations but rather in accordance with how people experience it.Both new and established scholars based in Africa, Europe, and North America cover a wide range of examples from across the continent, includingbureaucratic machinery in South Sudan, Nigeria, and Kenyainfrastructure and shortages in Chad and Nigeriadisciplinarity, subjectivity, and violence in Rwanda, South Africa, and Nigeriathe social life of democracy in the Congo, Cameroon, and Mozambiqueeducation, welfare, and health in Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Burkina FasoEveryday State and Democracy in Africa demonstrates that ordinary citizens' encounters with state agencies and institutions define the meanings, discourses, practices, and significance of democratic life, as well its distressing realities.Contributors: Daniel AgbiboaVictoria BernalJean ComaroffJohn L.
