Beschreibung:
As a result of the dire consequences of colonialism, Africa continues to be confronted with harsh challenges, even in postcolonial times. Political independence seems to have done very little to liberate and improve the lives of Africans. This volume addresses some key issues and problems that the continent has had, and with which it continues to grapple. It argues that, although these problems have largely arisen due to Africa's encounter with the Western world, the solutions must basically be found within the continent itself-they must be home-grown. The problems highlighted in the collection are diverse; they are social-political, ontological, epistemological, moral, developmental, educational, and religious. Accordingly, the text will appeal to philosophers, political scientists, historians, educators, Pan-Africanists, and persons with Afrocentric leanings.
