| Abstract: | The poor economic performance of some African countries since independence has been a major concern to both African leaders and policy makers. This volume, which draws together contributions from academics based in Africa and its diaspora, situates the continent within its historic and socio-political background: from the 1960s, the decade of independence, through to its development outlook as the new millennium unfolds. It examines a broad range of contemporary issues, from development and culture to linguistics. Contents: African diaspora-African development concerns: an introduction (Alfred B. Zack-Williams with Ola Uduku); Africa and the project of modernity (Alfred B. Zack-Williams); The black intellectual and the pan-African agenda in languages (Kole Omotoso and Ferdinand Dennis); The language of 'Francophonie' and the race of the renaissance: a commonwealth perspective (Ali Mazrui); Communications and governance in Africa (Cecil Blake); Africa and the search for political stability in the New Century (E. Ike Udogu); Benneton™ vs. Kente: the impact of African culture and design on the world media (Ola Uduku); Reading beyond the post-colonial: a cultural-socio-spatial perspective (Ola Uduku with Alfred B. Zack-Williams). [Book abstract] |
