Challenging orthodox views on contemporary African politics and
democracy, M.A. Mohamed Salih offers a fresh approach to the topic,
emphasising the role of ethnicity and religion, in particular that
of minorities. His central theme is that government donors from
Western nations have imposed Western style democracy in Africa,
ignoring the indigenous politics of the region, often resulting in
chaos. As a consequence many African societies are divided by
ethnicity. Revealing how minorities are inevitably marginalised in
all aspects of development and education, Salih shows how, in many
instances, they are treated as enemies of the state, as are the
opposition parties. He examines democracy and authoritarian
development in a pan-African context and the democratic potential
of political education, and provides a range of country-specific
case-studies, including multi-party democracy in Sudan;
democratising anarchy in Sierra Leone; religious violence in
Obasanjo's Nigeria and ethnic federalism in Ethiopia.
