In recent years, Africa has undergone the longest period of
sustained economic growth in the continent's history, drawing the
attention of the international media and academics alike. This book
analyses the Africa Rising narrative from multidisciplinary
perspectives, offering a critical assessment of the explanations
given for the poor economic growth and development performance in
Africa prior to the millennium and the dramatic shift towards the
new Africa. Bringing in perspectives from African intellectuals and
scholars, many of whom have previously been overlooked in this
debate, the book examines the construction of Africa's economic
growth and development portraits over the years. It looks at two
institutions that play a vital role in African development,
providing a detailed explanation of how the World Bank and the IMF
have interpreted and dealt with the African challenges and
experiences. The insightful analysis reveals that if Africa is
rising, only 20-30 per cent of Africans are aboard the rising ship,
and the main challenge facing the continent today is to bring on
board the majority of Africans who have been excluded from growth.
This book makes the complex, and sometimes confusing debates on
Africa's economic growth experience more accessible to a wide range
of readers interested in the Africa story. It is essential reading
for students and researchers in African Studies, and will be of
great interest to scholars in Development Studies, Political
Economy, and Development Economics.
