Book Synopsis Deadend to Nigerian Development by : Okwudiba Nnoli
Download or read book Deadend to Nigerian Development written by Okwudiba Nnoli and published by Codesria. This book was released on 1993 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The balance of power between an individual and the state they live in is the key to any country's political process. Concepts of citizenship, reciprocity of rights and citizen's duties intertwine in the struggle for assertion. With its largely collective citizenship, the civil society in Africa is alive and vibrant. But in the face of continuing global recession, the present phase of the African crisis is expected to sharpen contradictions within the continent's states. New paradigms have to be sought to explain the formations and realities. The ten chapters in this book, all written by African scholars, question the western, ethnocentric model of development and look at the wide diversity of African experience. From the Ormo cosmic framework and street-begging in Nigeria, through the role of labour and the part played by wage demands in the African crisis, this volume is a major contribution to the debate on Africa's future.
Book Synopsis Dead End: Nigeria by : Nwachukwu Nnoka
Download or read book Dead End: Nigeria written by Nwachukwu Nnoka and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second book, Dead End: Nigeria, he continues his explorations of morality and madness in his native land with an exposition of the reasons for perennial governmental dehumanization of their peoples; the economic and environmental consequences of these cumulative misfortunes; the resulting loss of meaning; and a predictable probable collapse of nationhood. Happily, there is a way out of this imminent disaster. Also cataloged in this book is a problem analysis and outline of a master plan for the United Regions of Nigeria. Hopefully, a future cadre of Nigerian leaders would deliberate and heed the proposals embodied in this book to help save a nation and its peoples.
Book Synopsis Modernization and the Crisis of Development in Africa by : Jeremiah I. Dibua
Download or read book Modernization and the Crisis of Development in Africa written by Jeremiah I. Dibua and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Jeremiah I. Dibua challenges prevailing notions of Africa's development crisis by drawing attention to the role of modernization as a way of understanding the nature and dynamics of the crisis, and how to overcome the problem of underdevelopment. He specifically focuses on Nigeria and its development trajectory since it exemplifies the crisis of underdevelopment in the continent. He explores various theoretical and empirical issues involved in understanding the crisis, including state, class, gender and culture, often neglected in analysis, from an interdisciplinary, radical political economy perspective. This is the first book to adopt such an approach and to develop a new framework for analyzing Nigeria's and Africa's development crisis. It will influence the debate on the development dilemma of African and Third World societies and will be of interest to scholars and students of race and ethnicity, modern African history, class analysis, gender studies, and development studies.

Book Synopsis Contested Terrains And Constructed Categories by : George Clement Bond
Download or read book Contested Terrains And Constructed Categories written by George Clement Bond and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contested Terrains and Constructed Categories brings together intellectuals from a variety of fields, backgrounds, generations, and continents to deepen and reinvigo-rate the theoretical and intellectual integrity of African studies. Building on recent debate within African studies that has revolved around the role of Africanists in the United States as “gatekeepers” of knowledge about Africa and Africans, this volume of interdisciplinary essays focuses on the contested character of the production of knowledge itself. In every chapter, case studies and ethnographic materials, drawn from such regions as South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, the Malagasy Republic, Angola, Ghana, and Senegal, demonstrate the application of theory to concrete situations.

Book Synopsis Dictators, Dictatorship and the African Novel by : Robert Spencer
Download or read book Dictators, Dictatorship and the African Novel written by Robert Spencer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the representation of dictators and dictatorships in African fiction. It examines how the texts clarify the origins of postcolonial dictatorships and explore the shape of the democratic-egalitarian alternatives. The first chapter explains the ‘neoliberal’ period after the 1970s as an effective ‘recolonization’ of Africa by Western states and international financial institutions. Dictatorship is theorised as a form of concentrated economic and political power that facilitates Africa’s continued dependency in the context of world capitalism. The deepest aspiration of anti-colonial revolution remains the democratization of these authoritarian states inherited from the colonial period. This book discusses four novels by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, Ahmadou Kourouma, Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in order to reveal how their themes and forms dramatize this unfinished struggle between dictatorship and radical democracy.

Book excerpt: Troubled Journey: Nigeria Since the Civil War is the latest of a number of case-study probes into Nigeria's unique experience as a modern African state. It pulls together a talented group of Nigerian historians who have been close students of Nigeria's "troubled journey" since Independence Day on October 1, 1960, and more precisely since the conclusion of its devastating Civil War from 1967 to 1970. This book is a major contribution to the on-going debate about how the country can best be politically restructured and socio-economically reformed.
Book Synopsis Feminist Genealogies, Colonial Legacies, Democratic Futures by : M. Jacqui Alexander
Download or read book Feminist Genealogies, Colonial Legacies, Democratic Futures written by M. Jacqui Alexander and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminist Geneaologies, Colonial Legacies, Democratic Futures provides a feminist anaylsis of the questions of sexual and gender politics, economic and cultural marginality, and anti-racist and anti-colonial practices both in the "West" and in the "Third World." This collection, edited by Jacqui Alexander and Chandra Talpade Mohanty, charts the underlying theoretical perspectives and organization practices of the different varieties of feminism that take on questions of colonialism, imperialism, and the repressive rule of colonial, post-colonial and advanced capitalist nation-states. It provides a comparative, relational, historically grounded conception of feminist praxis that differs markedly from the liberal pluralist, multicultural understanding that sheapes some of the dominant version of Euro-American feminism. As a whole, the collection poses a unique challenge to the naturalization of gender based in the experiences, histories and practices of Euro-American women.

Ayoola, examines key social, political, and economic issues in Nigeria since the colonial period.

Some of the themes and perspectives discussed throughout this collection include: contemporary challenges of poverty, unemployment, leadership and governance deficit, entrepreneurship, urbanization, and the underdevelopment of the agricultural and transport systems. Politics, Economy, and Society in Twentieth-Century Nigeria demonstrates that understanding the past helps to develop appropriate policies for contemporary challenges. As highlighted in this volume, it is important to appreciate the significance of context in historical explanation and in the application and adaptation of ideas across space and time.
