Abstract:Many of the chapters in this book first appeared as journal articles in a special edition of 'Africa Development' (vol. 29, no. 1 (2004)). Departing from the usual study of development in economic terms, this volume addresses the issue of African development in a more holistic manner. Contributions: Modernity and religious interpretations (Samir Amin); The human right to development (Wilfred L. David); On prospective: development and a political culture of time (Souleymane Bachir Diagne); Fanon and development: a philosophical look (Lewis R. Gordon); Dialogue with Lansana Keita: reflections on African development (Paulin Hountondji); African development and the primacy of mental decolonisation (Messay Kebede); Philosophy and development: on the problematic African development - a diachronic analysis (Lansana Keita); Relevant education for African development: some epistemological considerations (Francis B. Nyamnjoh); Culture: the missing link in development planning in Africa (Kwesi Kwaa Prah); Appraising Africa: modernity, decolonisation and globalisation (Sanya Osha); Philosophy, democracy and development: history and the case of Cameroon (Godfrey B. Tangwa); Science, technology and development: stakes of globalisation (Jean-Pierre Ymele); Postcoloniality and development: development as a colonial discourse (Eiman Osman Zein-Elabdin).
