Industrialising Africa examines the prospect of industrial
development on the African continent from a structural
transformation perspective. The book demonstrates that industrial
development in Africa remains elusive due to an incomplete
decolonization of African economies. Through a detailed discussion
of the current status of industrial development and the past
industrialisation strategies implemented on the continent,
Industrialising Africa clearly shows that sustained industrial
growth will remain unattainable as long as African economies
continue to operate under the colonial economic structure and
logic, in which African countries have specialised in supplying raw
materials to industrial centres. Industrialising Africa argues that
if Africa is to have a chance to significantly grow its industrial
sector, it must decentre the colonial economic logic and learn to
build industrial capabilities through an aggressive industrial
strategy.
