Architecture and Politics in Nigeria National Identity and International Modernism in Abuja

"By examining the creation of the modernist national public spaces of Abuja within a broader historical and global context, this book looks at how the successes and the failures of these spaces have affected the citizens of the country and have, in fact, radicalized individuals and been scene to some of the most important political events and terrorist targets, including bombing and protest rallies. Although focusing on Nigeria's capital, the study has a wider global implication that calls attention to how postcolonial countries that were formed at the turn of the twentieth century are continuously fragmenting and remade by the emergence of new nation states like South Sudan."--
