- Title
Multiethnic Democracy: the logic of elections and policymaking in Kenya.
- Authors
Harris, Adam
- Abstract
Horowitz expertly argues that national-level politicians (i.e. presidential candidates) in diverse societies must appeal to voters outside their co-ethnic core support base if they hope to obtain office. As such, it challenges the co-ethnic voting/favouritism narrative that dominates studies and popular understandings of African politics. Horowitz pushes us, like much of the recent work on ethnic politics in Africa, to move beyond African politics as ethnic politics as usual.
