Many scholars have argued that the ongoing democratization process
in Africa is doomed to fail because the political reforms have been
essentially imposed by external donors. Others have challenged the
very roots of the current changes, alleging that Africa needs
cultural and economic adjustments before being ready for
sustainable democracy. Celestin Monga argues that both views are
wrong. African peoples, he demonstrates, have been trying for
decades to challenge authoritarianism, but their patterns of
behaviour could not be captured by the classical tools used for
measuring political participation and political culture. ""The
Anthropology of Anger"" sheds light on the continent's long
tradition of an indigenous form of activism. Analyzing social
changes from a grassroots perspective, Monga shows that the quest
for freedom in Africa is deeply entrenched. He goes beyond
discussion of anger, ethnic conflicts and despair to provide new
frameworks for understanding Africa's internal social dynamics, and
to reveal how Africa - an unusual political ""market"" with highly
creative political entrepreneurs - is renewing democratic theory.
