The book also publishes a series of empirically-based papers which together display the multi-faceted and far-sighted scope of his theoretical framework, and its fecundity for fine-grained, detailed empirical investigations on universities and development in Africa. Castells, in his afterword to this book, always looking forward, assesses the role of the university in the wake of the upheavals to the global economic order. He decides the university's function not only remains, but is more important than ever. This book will serve as an introduction to the relevance of his work for higher education in Africa for postgraduate students, reflective practitioners and researchers. Includes two previously unpublished public lectures and an Afterword by Manuel Castells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Johan Muller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1920677925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781920677923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e African Minds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Johan Muller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47474271191295,"sku":"9781920677923","price":39.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f017022e-bedc-4cc0-8a60-d2cb36bc1815.jpg?v=1762315784","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/castells-in-africa-johan-muller-9781920677923","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
