Traditional leadership is a factor that has been long overlooked in
evaluations of rural local government in much of contemporary
Sub-Saharan Africa. Grassroots Governance?, an interdisciplinary
and intercontinental collection, addresses this gap in African
scholarship and brings new perspectives on the integration, or
reconciliation, of traditional leadership with democratic systems
of local government. Articles from the fields of political science,
law, postcolonial studies, anthropology, cultural studies, and
policy and administrative studies establish a baseline for best
practice in Africa and the Afro-Caribbean while taking into account
the importance of traditional leadership to the culture of local
governance. Case studies are drawn from Ghana, South Africa,
Botswana, Lesotho, and Commonwealth countries in West, East, and
Southern Africa, as well as Jamaica.
