Africa and Globalization Novel Multidisciplinary Perspectives
Africa and Globalization “Setiloane and Bangura have successfully assembled a stellar multidisciplinary consortium of some of the best and distinguished scholars to interrogate the complex but pertinent theme of Africa and Globalization. The product and indeed priceless gift is this book—a monumental and groundbreaking festival of ideas that are timely, novel, and eye-opening on many fronts.” —Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni, Professor and Chair of Epistemologies of the Global South, University of Bayreuth “Much of the literature on globalization concentrates on rapidly growing countries in selected regions of interest to state planners. Examples are Asian countries such as Taiwan, Singapore and South Korean. Large Latin American states as well as the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) are also frequently discussed. This anthology edited by Setiloane and Bangura fills a void in the literature by chapters entirely on the effects of globalization in Africa.” —Walter W. Hill, Professor and former Chair of the Political Science Department and founder of the African and African Diaspora Studies Program, St. Mary’s College of Maryland “At the hands of two experienced and respected editors, the connections between Africa and globalization attain intellectual prominence and critical visibility. The excellent book avoids well-beaten topics to speak to newer ones of families, languages, values, togetherness, and leadership. Pan-Africanism is alive, the book proclaims without any apology. Rich chapters reveal the complex interplay of power and marginalities, hegemony and subsidiarity, human sacrifices and hope. This book reminds us of an ongoing prudential conversation in a new world that is undergoing stress and tensions.” —Toyin Falola, Honorary Professor, University of Cape Town
