Creole Language, Democracy, and the Illegible State in Cabo Verde - Hardcover

by Abel Djassi Amado (Author)

This book argues that the state in Cabo Verde is illegible since its operations, procedures, and processes are carried out through Portuguese, a language that most of the people do not understand. Consequently, the illegible state produces grave political consequences in overall political participation and the quality of democracy.
