PAPERBACK FOR SALE IN AFRICA ONLY Multi-disciplinary examination of
the role of ordinary African people as agents in the generation and
distribution of well-being in modern Africa. What are the
fundamental issues, processes, agency and dynamics that shape the
political economy of life in modern Africa? In this book, the
contributors - experts in anthropology, history, political science,
economics, conflict and peace studies, philosophy and language -
examine the opportunities and constraints placed on living,
livelihoods and sustainable life on the continent. Reflecting on
why and how the political economy of life approach is essential for
understanding the social process in modern Africa, they engage with
the intellectual oeuvre of the influential Africanist economic
anthropologist Jane Guyer, who provides an Afterword. The
contributors analyse the politicaleconomy of everyday life as it
relates to money and currency; migrant labour forces and informal
and formal economies; dispossession of land; debt and indebtedness;
socio-economic marginality; and the entrenchment of colonial
andapartheid pasts. Wale Adebanwi is the Rhodes Professor of Race
Relations at the University of Oxford. He is author of Nation as
Grand Narrative: The Nigerian Press and the Politics of Meaning
(University of Rochester Press).
