Negative Ethnicity: From Bias to Genocide

Negative Ethnicity is an account of ethnic rivalries in Africa and how they undermine any attempts at democracy. Wamwere details how negative ethnicity was first used as a tactic by imperialists to keep Africans from fighting for their independence, and how it is now used by elites to uphold a system of capitalism where small numbers of people reap the benefits of Africa's natural resources. The book is mostly centered on Kenya but also includes information from other African countries.
