This volume challenges the concept of the 'new African middle
class' with new theoretical and empirical insights into the
changing lives in Sub-Saharan Africa. Diverse middle classes are on
the rise, but models of class based on experiences from other
regions of the world cannot be easily transferred to the African
continent. Empirical contributions, drawn from a diverse range of
contexts, address both African histories of class formation and the
political roles of the continent's middle classes, and also examine
the important interdependencies that cut across inter-generational,
urban-rural and class divides. This thought-provoking book argues
emphatically for a revision of common notions of the 'middle
class', and for the inclusion of insights 'from the South' into the
global debate on class. Middle Classes in Africa will be of
interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines, as
well as NGOs and policy makers with an interest in African
societies.
