At a time of global economic crisis and disillusionment with
capitalism, Adodo offers refreshing and positive insight into a
more integral way of business management, enterprise and community
development as well as holistic healing in Africa. For over three
decades, Africa was the recipient of billions of dollars in aid
funds that were meant to catapult the continent from undeveloped to
developed status. Yet the more the aid poured in, the poorer
African countries became. The devastating effect of western
economic models in Africa that followed is well documented.
Integral Community Enterprise in Africa exposes the limitations of
existing theories, such as capitalism, socialism and communism, and
shows how western theories were imposed on Africa. Such imposition
of concepts and ideas is not only demeaning but also unsustainable,
serving only the interest of the elite. Father Anselm Adodo argues
for the need to have a southern theory to serve as an alternative
to western theories. The majority of African intellectuals and
activists, while criticizing existing theories, often do not
provide alternative theories to address the prevalent inadequacies
entrenched in conventional social, political and economic systems.
This revolutionary book aims to address this lapse and proposes the
theory of communitalism as a more indigenous, sustainable and
integral approach to tackling the social, political, economic and
developmental challenges of today's Africa. There is an African
alternative to capitalism, socialism and communism - a surer path
to sustainable development in and from Africa. This is a book that
is positioned at the very core of a much needed African
Renaissance. A profoundly new approach to development in Africa,
this is essential reading for anyone concerned with authentic
development in Africa and in the world.
