Produktbeschreibung
The Book discusses African Realities in relation to Euro-American constructed world. It proceeds from lessons learned from the past to current global relationship. The Book addresses problems related to the rise of modernity and thereby shows how the very rise is characterized by European a self-empowering project of knowledge production. It discusses this with the emergence and depiction of European knowledge as "a power," which enabled Europeans to exploit and expropriate the less powerful people of Africa. The Book indicates how this juxtaposition of knowledge and power continuously fabricated trends of self-aggrandizement, and exerted its power to push generations of African continent to the peripheries. It takes issues of African exclusion back to the Hegelian project and presents this project as continuum of imperialistic logic. It also connects this to political economy of globalization which remained historical replication and ideological vindication of colonial mission. Thus, without generalizing, or undermining positive dimensions of Globalization, the Book focuses on the damaging aspects of the project from the African viewpoints.
