This book addresses current and pertinent issues in adult,
community, and lifelong education and development presenting a
distinctive and timely focus on Africa. Drawing from a variety of
theoretical, methodological, and personal experiences from astute
researchers from different parts of the continent, this book
re-conceptualises adult, community and lifelong education from a
western perspective to a more Afrocentric and indigenous approach
to understanding and solving problems in the field. It attempts to
fill that gap by placing emphasis on the history of adult, lifelong
and community education, its organization and management, and the
philosophical and socioeconomic context within which adult,
community and lifelong education is provided. This edited book is a
comprehensive collection of cutting edge research and analyses of
various concepts in the field and offers in-depth explanations from
diverse viewpoints. For ease of reference, this book is organized
into 17 chapters with each chapter covering a topical issue in a
diverse, multifaceted field. All the chapters were subjected to a
rigorous review process. Firstly, by the editors before those that
met the initial pre-screening were sent to two other reviewers.
These steps were taken to ensure that the chapters were within the
scope of the book as well as meeting the set standards. The
submissions which did not meet the set standards and/or did not
fall within the scope of the book were rejected. The ones that were
recommended for inclusion by the reviewers were sent to the authors
to correct and resubmit. The corrected chapters from the authors
were put together as the manuscript which was submitted to an
accredited language editor for editing before finally submitting to
the publisher. The contributions are on five African countries with
all the contributors from Africa. Consequently, this book differs
from many publications about African countries written by
non-Africans." Although all the chapters focus on African
countries, the scholarly and rigorous discussion by the authors may
appeal to international audiences in the field of adult, lifelong
and community education.
