AFRICA NOW! Emerging Issues and Alternative Perspectives
Africa Now! “The editors have to be congratulated for assembling an impressive range of continental-based African scholars and researchers proximate to the current status of African and some diasporic social research. This compendious, timely handbook’s chapters represent the best in distilling the topical, theoretical, and case illustrative scholarship centering on displacement and migration, while chapters variously synthesize scholarship on, amongst other thing, land and food security, indigenous technology, securitization, governance, the sex trade, and Chinese investment. Highly recommended”. —Pablo Idahosa, Professor, African and Development Studies, York University
