Description
Africa: Hurdles in Socio- Economic Trasnformation offers an analytical examination of Africa's development challenges and crises. Using a unique perspective and his personal philosophical views, the author explores the dominant position of peasants in Africa, their view of the world , modes of production during and after colonisation, as well as the role of capital and the struggle to accumulate it.
He proposes a cultural shift for Africa to overcome its prevailing peasant mentality which affects both its leaders and the general populace, despite the global capitalist integration. To attain socio- economic trasnformation, Africa must progress into a class-based society, with progressive changes driving the continent towards development. The perspective critiques oversimplified narratives about Africa's potential while outlining the crucial steps necessary for the sustainable growth and advancement of the continent.
This book is valuable to anyone interested in understanding or leading African and other emerging nations, as well as to scholars, researchers and policy-makers.
