Produktbeschreibung
Juxtaposing qualitative as well as quantitative facts across the broader African continent, the authors explore critical issues compounding developmental woes of the continent at the present. Despite the facts being on the fringes as explanations to the sluggish development of Africa, the authors show how they interact in shaping its development discourse. The authors also study unfolding events on the unforgiving global economy which have added to the misery of the continent. This book is an enthralling account which interrogates Africa's present realities and how they interplay to further stagnate the continent. The authors add a new voice to issues affecting development by venturing into largely unexplored niches of Africa's development conundrum.

Rezensionen
"Deftly combining optimism with pessimism, this book sees both the future possibilities and challenges of development in Africa. Older ideas and voices merge with newer ones to navigate the throes of globalization, dynamic internal energies, and the synergies of new technologies with African cultural resources."-Toyin Falola, The Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair, Distinguished Teaching Professor, Humanities, University of Texas, Austin
