More about the book

Ethnicity plays a crucial role in the electoral dynamics of Bouaké, Côte d'Ivoire, where Malinkés and Baoulés dominate the population. Through direct observations and interviews, the author highlights how political affiliations often align with ethnic identities, leading voters to support candidates from their own ethnic group. Community and religious leaders further influence these decisions, promoting ethnic solidarity in voting. This manipulation of ethnic ties reveals a strategic distribution of political power, where ethnicity serves as both a mobilizing force and a means of control.
