Healing the Wounds, Restoring Dignity and Fostering Development","description":"This book explores the relationship between Africa, the West and China. It notes that while Africa is a continent of diverse cultures, raw materials, human resource, indigenous knowledges, and above all the biggest recipient of foreign aid globally, it continues to lag behind all regions of the world in terms of socio-economic development. The book grapples with the important question on why this has been the case. It provides crucial critical insights on how Africa's situation could be reversed and the tapestry of its socio-economic problems eased. The book draws a link between culture, globalisation and socio-economic development, breaking new grounds in the discourse on development in post-colonial Africa. This is an incisive clarion call to bypass the outlandish claims and sterile discussions on the parodying of Africa by Euro-centric scholars. It is a contribution on the imperative to re-think the future of development in Africa. It makes a compelling argument by self-reliant development processes in which Africans reclaim their voice, independence and autonomy unapologetically. The book provides some grist for the mills of policy makers, institutional planners, practitioners and students of anthropology, political studies, sociology, economic history, local governance, cultural economics, and gender, development, African, heritage and international studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Munyaradzi Mawere\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9956792284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789956792283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Langaa RPCID\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.39d","brand":"Munyaradzi Mawere","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47579540717823,"sku":"9789956792283","price":40.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d6dff4f-0afa-4b32-bec9-b8b9205dc162.jpg?v=1763874898","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/divining-the-future-of-africa-munyaradzi-mawere-9789956792283","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
