Beschreibung

This book uses ordinary citizens' opinions of military intervention as a lens to examine state-society dynamics and identity formation in Chad.
It offers a fresh perspective by highlighting how local actors, not just elites, shape fractured identities through their engagement with political and military events. The book reveals the complex domestic and international effects of state interventions as seen in other African contexts such as Nigeria, Uganda and Rwanda. By shifting focus to everyday perspectives, it presents a groundbreaking approach to understanding identity as a shared, evolving process between citizens and elites.
