Africa in the Age of Globalisation

’This book, anchored by a critical reading of historical and contemporary globalisation, analyses and reiterates the essential conditions for Africa’s development agenda. Drawing from local, regional and global contexts, the study rightfully reveals the significance of human agency and the institutional prerequisites for social development in a bold and refreshing manner.’ Korbla P. Puplampu, Grant MacEwan University, Canada ’Africa in the Age of Globalisation offers a most lucid, insightful and a very interesting account on challenges and possibilities of African development in the context of globalisation. The book should be a good read for all who truly care about African development. The multidisciplinary gaze on African development and the highlights on both the possibilities and limitations of current globalising encounters render this work a fitting place among cutting edge scholarship on Africa. There are significant lessons for readers interested in understanding what current processes of globalisation pose for Africa in terms of the complexities, contentions and contradictions, as well as, hopes and desires of a genuine African-defined and locally-determined development.’ George J. Sefa Dei, University of Toronto, Canada '... it is befitting to congratulate the editors and their team for producing a text which represents a very strong statement regarding the position of Africa in the age of globalisation. Without any reservations, the text is a must read for several groups of people including university students in the social sciences, policy makers, government leaders, development practitioners, and to all who value and wish to live in a better Africa.'
