About the Book

Despite high degrees of cultural and ethnic diversity as well as prevailing political instability, Guinea-Bissau's population has developed a strong sense of national belonging. By examining both contemporary and historical perspectives, A Creole Nation explores how creole identity, culture, and political leaders have influenced postcolonial nation-building processes in Guinea-Bissau, and the ways in which the phenomenon of cultural creolization results in the emergence of new identities.

Review :

"The author should be commended for his skillful synthesis and intricate analysis of extensive field data and written sources on this under-researched corner of the African continent. It has resulted in a key contribution to the debate on cultural creolization and its political entanglements, and I recommend A Creole Nation for scholars and students working on (political) anthropology and (West) African studies." - JRAI

"One of the author's great achievements is the skillful manner in which he synthesizes a myriad of data gleaned from oral and written sources in the longue durée and weaves them into a well-crafted and colorful tapestry of interlocking narratives on an African society in constant flux...All in all, this book is a must for academics working on cultural creolization, as well as for those specializing in the political anthropology of nationhood in sub-Saharan Africa." - Philip J. Havik, Universidade NOVA of Lisbon in African Studies Review

"Clear and well-written, this book represents a significant contribution to the literature on nations and nationalism in Africa." - Eric Gable, University of Mary Washington
