"The question usually asked about Africa is 'Why is it going wrong?' In Africa: The Politics of Suffering and Smiling Patrick Chabal approaches this question differently, by reconsidering the role of theory in African politics. Chabal discusses the limitations of existing political theories of Africa and proposes a different starting point, arguing that political thinking ought to be driven by the immediacy of everyday life and death. How do people define who they are? Where do they belong? What do they believe? How do they struggle to survive and improve their lives? What is the impact of illness and poverty? Chabal proposes a radically different way of looking at politics in Africa and in doing so illuminates the ways ordinary people 'suffer and smile'."--Jacket.
