Edmond Keller, professor of political science and director of UCLA's Globalization Research Center, has published a new book, "Identity, Citizenship and Political Conflict in Africa." The book reconsiders how national identity has been understood in Africa and presents new approaches to identity politics, intergroup relations, state-society relations, and notions of national citizenship and citizenship rights.
 
Keller, who specializes in comparative politics with an emphasis on Africa, has worked on public policy with the UN and consulted on development, regional security issues, public policy and the process of political transitions in Africa. In 2008, Keller was the recipient of the African Studies Association Distinguished Africanist Award.
