Comments on 1st edition of 'Comrades, Clients and Cousins...'(1999):

'Comrades, Clients and Cousins...is a work which represents, in my humble opinion, one of the most important, revealing and inspiring research efforts on lusophone Africa to be published in many years.'

Douglas L. Wheeler, Professor of History Emeritus,University of New Hampshire

'Let us put aside the shyness and dare the prophecy:Comrades, Clients and Cousins will remain the major volume about this archipelago during at least ten years, and for still more time, to get to know the period from 1974 to 1998.'

René Pelissier in Análise Social

'Seibert is meticulous in his pursuit of coherence and explanation. His book is a worthy successor to Francisco Tenreiro's masterly account of the islands written in the 1950s and absolutely indispensable for anyone studying the problems of contemporary Africa.'

Malyn Newitt, Journal of African History

'Comrades, Clients and Cousins is a welcome addition to the literature on Portuguese-speaking Africa. It is also a volume which Africanists should find useful because of its careful comparative analytical construction. Seibert has written a solid, well researched and analytically astute book on one of Africa's least known countries.'

Patrick Chabal, Africa

'Here is finally a complete and recent study of the political, economic and social history of São Tomé and Príncipe...A member of the Creole elite recently qualified the book as impious: the light that it sheds on these 'painful truths' makes it from now on an unavoidable reference for all those who are interested in this small country, but equally for those who study the clientelistic phenomena in Africa or elsewhere.'

Jacky Picard in Lusotopie
