This book explores the notion of agency in a range of empirical
situations in Africa. Agency directs our quest for an understanding
of the dynamics and social transformations of African situations to
the domains of creativity, inventiveness and reflexivity. It
emphasizes the possibilities individuals and social groups perceive
when faced with the constraints that tend to mark African social
life. The case studies provide an alternative view of people and
society in Africa by looking at the ways social strength is created
in the hope of overcoming many of the structural limitations
encountered in daily life. 'Strength beyond Structure' challenges
the optimism that is engrained in the development rhetoric about
Africa by making agency the subject of empirical scrutiny.
