Emerging Perspectives on 'African Development' - Speaking Differently (Hardcover, New edition)

Emerging Perspectives on 'African Development': Speaking Differently discusses numerous areas of interest and issues about Africa, including contemporary challenges and possibilities of development. The book critically engages the many ways of presenting 'development,' highlighting the interplay of tradition and modernity as well as contestations over knowledge production in 'post-colonial' Africa. It offers cautionary words to field practitioners, researchers, and social theorists who work in development using language that is easily accessible to laypersons. This book is also for undergraduate and graduate courses on development, global education, rural development, and Africa studies. For readers looking for something new about Africa beyond the old stories of catastrophes and human misery, this book will be indispensable. It demonstrates that even in the face of many failures, tragedies, and suffering, Africa's stories can be told with hope and a sense of possibility.
