Africans and Globalization: Linguistic, Literary, and Technological
Contents and Discontents considers the substance and
dissatisfactions of globalization on Africa and its Diaspora.
Although variously framed across disciplines, globalization has
generally entailed non-milieu bound interactions, which alters the
existence of its participants. The concerns about the impact of
globalization have been raised in relation to Africa and have
related to the helpful and deleterious effects. Increasingly,
industrialization (without consideration of environmental impacts)
and westernization (including erosion of indigenous values) are
perceived as synonymous with globalization. This multidisciplinary
collection contends that in theory, globalization linked Africa
with the world through trade and information sharing, thereby
increasing development. This collection provides reflections based
on contemporary research within the linguistic, literary, and
technological areas of study. It illustrates that globalization is
not a single process but rather a complex set of processes that
seemingly operate in an oppositional manner. The collected works
make for exciting appraisal as they highlight some of the contents
and discontents of globalization across multiple areas of human
endeavor in Africa and its diaspora.
