Summary
The third chapter examines how the incumbents in Iraq and Sudan reacted to the uprisings in their peripheries. It begins by establishing that the future post-colonial elites had been exposed to colonial practices of control, through their constant interaction with the colonial authorities. It then moves to demonstrate how these practices resurfaced when these governments faced dissent in their peripheries.
