From Democracy To Partocracy:Why A Party System Is Undemocratic, by Themba Sono

This book demonstrates two issues at length: it examines what democracy is all about, as well as how the word is misused. Secondly, the book delineates the phenomenon of partyism. It attempts to explore not only the origins, but also the distortive nature of political parties. The work is intended generally for the student of politics, political thought and history of ideas. It will be of special interest to the close  observer of the African phenomenon. University students and their teachers will find the work particularly challenging, while professional politicians will learn a great deal about the nature of their craft.
