In this book, the contributors - experts in anthropology, history, political science, economics, conflict and peace studies, philosophy and language - examine the opportunities and constraints placed on living, livelihoods and sustainable life on the continent. Reflecting on why and how the political economy of life approach is essential for understanding the social process in modern Africa, they engage with the intellectual oeuvre of the influential Africanist economic anthropologist Jane Guyer, who provides an Afterword. The contributors analyse the politicaleconomy of everyday life as it relates to money and currency; migrant labour forces and informal and formal economies; dispossession of land; debt and indebtedness; socio-economic marginality; and the entrenchment of colonial andapartheid pasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wale Adebanwi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847012442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847012449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e James Currey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.80d","brand":"Wale Adebanwi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077604569343,"sku":"9781847012449","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09536037-5d7e-4432-b4f8-9139863db969.jpg?v=1685470839","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-political-economy-of-everyday-wale-adebanwi-9781847012449","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
