AFRICA’S RESURGENCEDomestic, Global and Diaspora Transformations

About the Book:

This book offers a multifaceted portrait of Africa’s resurgence after decades of postcolonial authoritarianism and underdevelopment. It explores the social and economic transformations of African societies over the past 50 years, the struggles for democratization and human rights, including most recently the rise of the Arab Spring and its impact, the thickening circuits of regional interconnections and engagements with the diaspora most poignantly captured by the rise of the Obama phenomenon, and the shifting constructions and representations of Africa in the popular and scholarly literature. It is a bold reexamination of Africa’s complex historical afflictions and legacies, its contemporary mixed fortunes, and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the continent in a globalized world.
