These continuing challenges have been evident since independence in 1965, and are manifest in the absence of an active civil society and effective political institutions against a backdrop of widespread impoverishment. In July 1994, the First Republic was overthrown in a military coup led by Yahya Jammeh. Although the army formally withdrew from politics in 1996 and Jammeh was "elected" President, a new style of governance subsequently emerged to limit constitutional rule and fundamental human rights."--Publisher's website. 505 00 $t Postscript / $g 16. $g Part I. $t Historical Backdrop: $g 1. $t The foundations of modern Gambia: British rule, 1816-1965 / $r Sulayman Nyang. $g 2. $t Enter the "experts": environmental and agrarian change in the Gambia, 1900-1951 / $r Kenneth Swindell; $g 3. $t Strange farmers and the development of the Gambia's peanut trade / $r Tijan M.
