Critical postcolonial theorists ask why Africa is failing to extricate itself from poverty and underdevelopment. This book fills a large and long-standing gap in the study of African development, taking on a critical postcolonial approach to examine, investigate and discuss challenges faced by African countries in their quest for development. The approach focuses on the intersection of educational paradigms, sustainable economic development methodologies and democratic political engagement theories to determine possibilities for economic growth and social development in Africa.
