A decade of democracy in Africa / / editor, Stephen N. Ndegwa.

The democratic experiment in Africa has had a chequered history over the 1990's. Authors in this volume argue that African civil society is less likely to support democracy, they measure African democracy by the women's rights movements and unravel the mythical hope of technology.
