Africanizing Democracies is accessible in its thematic scope and writing style. It takes key and timely themes in Africa's recent history and provides an entry point for discussion and case studies to illustrate the main points. The text is free of jargon and is written in a fluent manner. --Fiona Vernal, University of Connecticut Africanizing Democracies brings together several vital societal components that impact democratization. This serves to broaden the political science perspective beyond issues of elected offices and election monitoring which constitute the bulk of information on African politics in the popular media. The authors' keen awareness of the need to integrate issues of gender and LGBT rights in the democratization process is core to their central thesis of Africanized democracies. This book makes significant contributions to our understanding of older indigenous female leadership roles and the role they play in creating sustainable democratic systems in Africa. --Jamaine Abidogun, Missouri State University
