The book reflects on the role of the creative economies in a range
of African countries (namely Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa
and Uganda). Chapters explore how creative economies emerge and can
be supported in African countries. The contributors focus on two
key dimensions: the role of higher education and the role of
policy. Firstly, they consider the role of higher education and
alternative forms of specialised education to reflect on how the
creative aspirations of students (and future creative workers) of
these countries are met and developed. Secondly, they explore the
role of policy in supporting the agendas of the creative economy,
taking also into consideration the potential historical dimension
of policy interventions and the impact of a lack of policy
frameworks. The book concludes by reflecting on how these two
pillars of creative economy development, which are usually taken
for granted in studying creative economies in the global north,
need to be understood with their own specificity in the context of
our selected case studies in Africa. This book will be of interest
to students, scholars and professionals researching the creative
economies in Africa across the humanities and social sciences. All
the royalties from the publication of this book will be donated to
the not-for-profit organisation The Craft and Design Institute
(CDI) (https://www.thecdi.org.za/) in South Africa, supporting
capacity building for young creative practitioners from
disadvantaged backgrounds.
