There is growing consensus in the development economics literature that ethnic diversity is a very significant factor in explaining Africa's poor economic performance.

Drawing on the insights of historians, anthropologists and political scientists as well as development economists, this book questions whether ethnicity is the most useful organising principle by which to examine the economic development of Africa, arguing that it is a more fluid and contingent concept than economic models allow.
