This book examines the perception of Africa in the global system,
tracing Africa's transition from a "problem" to be solved into an
agent with a rising voice in the world. Mixing Afro-optimism with
heavy doses of Afro-reality and Afro-responsibility, this book
calls for a new political narrative about Africa that captures the
multi-disciplinary dimensions of Africa's "transition" and
critically examining its ramifications. The author discusses the
origins of the "Problem" perception held about Africa and explains
how things are turning around and how the continent is now becoming
a voice to be heard rather than a problem to be solved. He then
goes on to interrogate some of the key manifestations of this new
"voice" and identifies how the world is responding to the new
"voice" of Africa before finally examining some of the
contradictions that have been embedded in the transition. The book
is strategically multi-disciplinary - emphasizing key disciplines
of African studies in different chapters - for example:
anthropology, ethnography, and philosophy in Chapter 1; history, in
Chapter 2; economics, in Chapter 3; politics, in Chapter 4; arts,
literature, and aesthetics, in Chapter 5; religion, in Chapter 6;
and globalization, in Chapter 7. Through this, A New Narrative for
Africa explores and analyses several of the various strands of the
African studies discipline, examining the transformation of African
on the global stage over the course of its history. Taking an
interdisciplinary approach, this book will be of interest across
African Studies, Global Affairs, Politics, Economics, and
Development studies.
