Africa: Diversity and Development introduces and de-mystifies
Africa’s diversity and dynamism, and considers how its peoples
and environments have interacted through time and space. The book
examines the background and diversity of Africa’s social,
cultural, economic, political and environmental systems, as well as
key development issues which have affected Africa in the past and
are likely to be significant in shaping the future of the
continent. These include: the impact of HIV/AIDS; sources of
conflict and post-conflict reconstruction; the state and
governance; the nature of African economies in a global context and
future development trajectories. The new edition features new
chapters on governing Africa and Climate Change and increased
coverage of culture and ethnicity. It is richly illustrated
throughout with diagrams and plates and contains a wealth of
detailed up-to-date case studies and current data. This textbook is
a refreshing interdisciplinary text which enhances understanding of
the background to Africa’s current position and clarifies
possible future scenarios. It will be a valuable resource for
students taking modules on Africa, African Development and
Geography of Africa, and will also prove useful to students in the
wider fields of Geography, Development Studies, Global Studies,
Environment and Society and African Politics.
