| Sommario/riassunto: | Africa's Social Cleavages and Democratization focuses primarily on explaining variation in the occurrence and intensity of African ethnic and religious conflicts across time and space. Kimemia argues that social cleavages have led to polarized party systems and political competition, causing adverse effects on democracy. This comprehensive book presents the most current data, making it the most reliable source available on the effects of social cleavages on multiparty democracy in Africa written by an African scholar. |
