Abstract
This paper reviews Sanya Osha’s latest book on Africa’s postcolonial conditions, especially as it concerns democratic
governance. The review considers the book as trans-disciplinary and focuses on its three sub-themes, namely,
postmodernity, decolonization and globalization. The main arguments of the author on these sub-themes are highlighted
and briefly discussed. While the review finds the author’s overall discourse interesting and insightful to the understanding
of African postcolonial conditions, it nevertheless raises concerns on some of the issues the author discussed such as
criticisms of Achille Mbembe and others.
