Africa Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: Exploring the Multi-Dimensional Discourses on Development

Nathan Andrews

4.9/5 (30697 ratings)

Description:From a multi-dimensional and interdisciplinary standpoint, this book challenges the teleological and unidirectional notions of development embodied in the idea of modernisation or progress and offers a critique of the tendency to consider Africa as a basket case, which often gives the Western self an undeserving privilege and superiority over the African other. Mostly authored by emerging African scholars, this 16-chapter volume addresses the historical application of development projects in Africa and their modern impact in economic, political, cultural, social, and infrastructural contexts, among others.The book, therefore, unearths development dynamics in specific African countries, examines the continents external relations, rethinks predominant ideas on development, and engages in critical examination of concepts and practices that have maintained hegemonic positions in the discussions on Africas development. Its uniqueness lies in the ability to bring these several voices and themes together into a concise conception of both the challenges and possibilities of Africas sustainable development. The book targets both the academic and policy worlds in Africa and around the world, as well as ordinary members of the public who seek to broaden their theoretical and empirical understanding on the changing dynamics on the African continent.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
