When Nana-Ama Danquah, a twenty-two-year-old single mother, began
to suffer from a variety of depressive symptoms after giving birth
to her daughter, she thought she was going crazy. Determined to
portray strength in a world that often undervalues Black women’s
lives, she shrouded her debilitating despair in silence and denial.
But when she befriends other Black women who suffer with
depression, she finds the support she needs to confront the
traumatic childhood events that lie beneath her grief. Twenty-five
years after its initial publication, as best-selling author Andrew
Solomon writes in an illuminating foreword, Willow Weep for Me
“remains a brave book . . . but at the time of its writing it was
humblingly audacious.†Also including an afterword from the
author, this groundbreaking classic is a powerful meditation on
courage and a litany for survival. “An important and moving
memoir. [Danquah] describes beautifully her experiences with
depression.†—Kay Redfield Jamison, author of An Unquiet Mind
Developing nations in Africa need access to advanced technology,
innovation, and entrepreneurial skills for sustainable development
as they address challenges that face the world at large in the 21st
century. Since Ghana's development indices (high or low) remain
deeply rooted in the measure of education provided to its citizens,
the nation must seriously and continuously invest in university
education and technological and entrepreneurial skills to enhance
sustainable development. The strategy for sustainable development
in Ghana appears to be well planned for global and regional
agendas, with higher education serving as a panacea. Education 2030
Framework for Action (EFA) and the African Union Agenda 2063
provide foundations for the transition to the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) with the promise of technological and
entrepreneurial innovation, as well as education for all.
Technological Innovation Driving Sustainable Entrepreneurial Growth
in Developing Nations builds a bridge of communication between the
worlds of education and business through the exploration of
critical research on the fight against poverty, hunger,
malnutrition, and disease. This book also examines the interplay
between entrepreneurial education and sustainable economic
development in developing countries. Covering topics such as
engineering technologies, entrepreneurship, and communication
technologies, this book is ideal for researchers, educators,
business administrators, students, and more.
