This book examines the postcolonial African state through its emotional foundations. Drawing on archival materials, it shows that emotion was central to how citizens interpreted independence, how governments sought to shape national belonging, and how communities navigated mobility, development, and political change. Pride, frustration, anticipation, and loss formed a dense emotional landscape that structured everyday life and informed the possibilities and limits of postcolonial modernity. By treating emotion as a historically situated force, the book offers a new perspective on the political and social history of the postcolonial era and on the lived experience of those who inhabited it.
