Development Problems of Multi-Ethnic Societies

Kurt Glaser

A chapter in Accelerated Development in Southern Africa, 1974, pp 483-502 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In so far as multi-ethnicity determines the framework for development, the problems it raises are not special or unusual but almost universal in Africa. The typical African state contains a number of self-identifying ethnic groups of various sizes. Clifford Geertz, who has constructed a typology of ethnic patterns, classifies most of Africa in the category of ‘ethnic fragmentation’.1
