Description

This Routledge academic work examines legal identification processes across Africa, exploring how biometric technology intersects with citizenship, state governance, and bureaucratic identity documentation. With nearly half of Africa's population lacking legal identity, many governments have adopted biometric systems as solutions to fraud and administrative challenges. The book critically investigates these developments from citizens' perspectives, revealing how biometric technologies can paradoxically reinforce exclusion, deepen mistrust between populations and states, and intensify contested definitions of national belonging. Essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and researchers studying African governance, digital identity infrastructure, citizenship frameworks, and the social implications of technological systems in developing nations.

Key Features

Investigates biometric identification systems and their implementation across African states and their impact on citizenship definitions.

Examines legal identity documentation from the perspective of ordinary citizens and their relationships with state bureaucracies.

Analyses how biometric technologies paradoxically reinforce exclusion despite being promoted as efficiency and security solutions.

Published by Routledge in their Contemporary Africa series, providing rigorous academic treatment of identity politics.

Addresses the governance challenges facing millions of Africans without formal legal identity recognition.
