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.
