This book examines the effects of ethnicity on party politics in ten African countries. Sebastian Elischer finds that five party types exist: the mono-ethnic, the ethnic alliance, the catch-all, the programmatic and the personalistic party. He uses these party types to show that the African political landscape is considerably more diverse than conventionally assumed.
