Marginality and Crisis

Globalization and Identity in Contemporary Africa

Herausgeber: Adebayo, Akanmu G.; Olaniyi, Rasheed Olaniyi; Adesina, Olutayo Charles

Beschreibung

Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this book evaluates the relations between globalization and Africa's multifarious challenges and identities. The nineteen chapters coalesce to demonstrate that the forces and processes of globalization have increased Africa's marginalization, deepened its crises, escalated and intensified its conflicts, and undermined its ability to determine the content and direction of its cultural changes and economic future.
