How far toward democracy have recent liberalization movements gone? In \u003ci\u003eThe Fate of Africa's Democratic Experiments, \u003c\/i\u003e Leonardo A. Villal n, Peter VonDoepp, and an international group of contributors consider the aftermath, success, failure, and future of the wave of democracy that swept Africa in the early 1990s. In some countries, democratic movements flourished, while in others, democratic success was more circumscribed. This detailed analysis of key political events in countries at the forefront of democratic change--Benin, Central African Republic, Congo, Guinea-Bissau, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, and Zambia--provides for broadly representative continental and linguistic coverage of directions and prospects for Africa's democracies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors are Michael Chege, John F. Clark, Joshua B. Forrest, Abdourahmane Idrissa, Bruce Magnusson, Carrie Manning, Richard R. Marcus, Andreas Mehler, David J. Simon, Leonardo A.
