Reviews

In Africa's Social Cleavages and Democratization, Dr. Kimemia systematically delineates multiple social cleavages in Africa and rigorously assesses their impact on the process of democratization on the continent. The arguments, analysis, and insights presented in this volume are illuminating and constitute a significant contribution to advancing our knowledge and understanding of the impact of social cleavages on democratization in particular and political stability in general. The book is highly recommended for those interested in identity politics and African politics, governance, and development. -- Shadrack W. Nasong'o, Rhodes College
