Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book 'The Invisible Traps in Africa; Preambles This Book may have manifest from what Thomas Hobbes (1961) observes as 'cooperation between people is impossible in the absence of truth'. Therefore, in as much as people deserve to know what the future hold for most African states over the last decade of post independence, there has been fewer books in stock to establish the exact type on the endless African predicament. Although, several books tend to bring alternative images from Africa different from what exactly exist in the continent. It is from these misconceptions over the years that emanate the author of this book to bring this an extraordinary account of the African past and present into the public arena for more enlighten and assimilation of what Africa predicament simply reflected. Especially to those readers and curious people who are deeply interested to know about African people, societies, problems and their causes since pre-historic down to post colonial Africa. Well at the same token, the book scrutinizes the contemporary causes of Africans underdevelopment, poverty escalation, immigrant migrating from Africa enlarging into Europe, causes of deeply divided violence among Africans and that of the emerging terrorist continent of 21st century. So far, this book brought into the public domain by the 'Author Shaibu Sunday Danladi, at this critical moment of confusion in both Africa and Europe, it is the desire of the author that what turn African into uncertainties needs to be understood from its genetic roots instead of accepting several propaganda as fact about African institutional uncertainties. Perhaps, the Book answers the questions as what had eventually turned African nations on post colonial independence into dependency. Constant untouched character of most Africa nations underdevelopment scenario, stages of anarchy etc. Undoubtedly, this book is quite unique and further engaging by its attempt at reassessing several key Africans institutional miscarriages since the journey of their independence started around 60s effectively down to the contemporary anarchist enigma at post independence. Nevertheless, to a great extent, I do believe and hope that the influence of this book will further enlarge public knowledge about African stages of malfunctioning after 60s till date. Wholly, I have viewed this book as crucial and magnificent contribution to the ongoing post independence debate as well as making understanding of African predicament in the 21st century new imperialism accessible to the general public. My interest is to serve general knowledge to the public why African underdevelopment and dependency persist (Shaibu Jr. 5th. May 2015). Good Luck. Honestly My People, Liberty..."I recognize that oppression exists merely to those who choose to live under oppressed institutions. Homes, organization, countries etc as their own self made. For the justification that, they individually-acknowledged someone cruelty and containment as their income of existence as destiny. Yet, a mistaken belief that would make oppression continues to survive in our societies. Their private and personal silent in the expression of their complex moment made their oppression achievable. Certainly, without their consent by refusing to resist, it would not have succeeded to sucking them into an early grave of disadvantages and dependency" (Shaibu, May. 5th. 2015)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost two decades, China has claimed that its expanding economy benefits Europe, stimulating European growth, exports, and employment. But the reality is not so clear-cut. Whilst individual companies may have profited from China’s economic rise,unbalanced trade with China has actually cost Europe over 1.4 trillion euros in the last ten years as well as undermining its political influence. China’s monumental infrastructural project, the Belt And Road Initiative or New Silk Road as it has come to be known - is set to make this situation even worse. The Silk Road Trap is the first book to expose just how risky this uneven partnership is for Europe. In it, leading expert on Asian affairs Jonathan Holslag, argues that Europe must reduce its reliance on China and work on building a stronger and more sustainable European economic model. By revealing the political aspirations and economic strategy behind the new Silk Road, he lays out its implications for specific European industries, from steel over aircraft to robots. Holslag, though critical of China, does not, however, make the case for confrontational, Trumpian protectionism. Instead, he posits that the new Silk Road need not ensnare Europe; it offers the continent a unique opportunity to transition from a future "made in China" to one that is "made in Europe".

Book excerpt: NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Bloomberg • Forbes • The Spectator Recipient of Foreign Policy's 2013 Albie Award A powerful portrayal of Jeffrey Sachs's ambitious quest to end global poverty "The poor you will always have with you," to cite the Gospel of Matthew 26:11. Jeffrey Sachs—celebrated economist, special advisor to the Secretary General of the United Nations, and author of the influential bestseller The End of Poverty—disagrees. In his view, poverty is a problem that can be solved. With single-minded determination he has attempted to put into practice his theories about ending extreme poverty, to prove that the world's most destitute people can be lifted onto "the ladder of development." In 2006, Sachs launched the Millennium Villages Project, a daring five-year experiment designed to test his theories in Africa. The first Millennium village was in Sauri, a remote cluster of farming communities in western Kenya. The initial results were encouraging. With his first taste of success, and backed by one hundred twenty million dollars from George Soros and other likeminded donors, Sachs rolled out a dozen model villages in ten sub-Saharan countries. Once his approach was validated it would be scaled up across the entire continent. At least that was the idea. For the past six years, Nina Munk has reported deeply on the Millennium Villages Project, accompanying Sachs on his official trips to Africa and listening in on conversations with heads-of-state, humanitarian organizations, rival economists, and development experts. She has immersed herself in the lives of people in two Millennium villages: Ruhiira, in southwest Uganda, and Dertu, in the arid borderland between Kenya and Somalia. Accepting the hospitality of camel herders and small-hold farmers, and witnessing their struggle to survive, Munk came to understand the real-life issues that challenge Sachs's formula for ending global poverty. THE IDEALIST is the profound and moving story of what happens when the abstract theories of a brilliant, driven man meet the reality of human life.

This book was released on 2020-09-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops a nuanced decolonial critique that calls for the decolonization of media and communication studies in Africa and the Global South. Last Moyo argues that the academic project in African Media Studies and other non-Western regions continues to be shaped by Western modernity’s histories of imperialism, colonialism, and the ideologies of Eurocentrism and neoliberalism. While Africa and the Global South dismantled the physical empire of colonialism after independence, the metaphysical empire of epistemic and academic colonialism is still intact and entrenched in the postcolonial university’s academic programmes like media and communication studies. To address these problems, Moyo argues for the development of a Southern theory that is not only premised on the decolonization imperative, but also informed by the cultures, geographies, and histories of the Global South. The author recasts media studies within a radical cultural and epistemic turn that locates future projects of theory building within a decolonial multiculturalism that is informed by trans-cultural and trans- epistemic dialogue between Southern and Northern epistemologies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report argues that it is essential to understand the dynamics of the informal food retail sector because of its vital role in ensuring greater access to food by the urban poor. Existing policy frameworks to address food security and to govern the informal sector tend to neglect informal retail in the food system. As a result, the sector is poorly understood. The report therefore attempts to identify the characteristics of the sector that impact on its ability to address the food needs of the neighbourhoods in which the businesses are located. Although the research is focused on Cape Town, the findings are of broader relevance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why have Africans not gained a more dominant position in urban manufacturing in Kenya? This question is explored through an analysis of the institutions, both formal and informal, that have affected patterns of capital accumulation in Kenya by the African and Asian (Indian) communities. Using a new institutional economics approach, this book explores the history of economic activity through the pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial periods, including the transformative period of British rule. During the colonial period, Asians were brought in to build the railways and subsequently focused on urban-based activities. Africans, meanwhile, found it difficult to move out of agriculture. Thus, the ethnic-sectoral division of activities was entrenched by the formal laws and powers of the British. Following independence, the network and financial capital that Asians had built up allowed them to survive early attempts at the Africanization of industry. Africans, now supported by the formal institutions of the state, still found it difficult to engage in manufacturing because they lacked the informal networks that support trade and credit. The analysis is supported by the results of a contemporary survey of 120 manufacturing firms in Nairobi’s metal sector that highlight the division between smaller African firms and larger Asian ones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The independence of African countries from their European colonizers in the late 1950s and 1960s marked a shift in the continent's political leadership. Nevertheless, the economies of African nations remained tied to those of their former colonies, raising questions of resource control and the sovereignty of these nation-states. Who Owns Africa? addresses the role of foreign actors in Africa and their competing interests in exploiting the resources of Africa and its people. An interdisciplinary team of scholars examines the concept of colonialism from a historical and socio-political perspective. They show how the language of investment, development aid, mutual interest, or philanthropy is used to cloak the virulent forms of exploitation on the continent, thereby perpetuating a state of neocolonialism that has left many African people poor and in the margins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collective significance of the themes that are explored in Slavery in the Global Diaspora of Africa bridge the Atlantic and thereby provide insights into historical debates that address the ways in which parts of Africa fitted into the modern world that emerged in the Atlantic basin. The study explores the conceptual problems of studying slavery in Africa and the broader Atlantic world from a perspective that focuses on Africa and the historical context that accounts for this influence. Paul Lovejoy focuses on the parameters of the enforced migration of enslaved Africans, including the impact on civilian populations in Africa, constraints on migration, and the importance of women and children in the movement of people who were enslaved. The prevalence of slavery in Africa and the transformations of social and political formations of societies and political structures during the era of trans-Atlantic migration inform the book’s research. The analysis places Africa, specifically western Africa, at the center of historical change, not on the frontier or periphery of western Europe or the Americas, and provides a global perspective that reconsiders historical reconstruction of the Atlantic world that challenges the distortions of Eurocentrism and national histories. Slavery in the Global Diaspora of Africa will be of interest to scholars and students of colonial history, African history, Diaspora Studies, the Black Atlantic and the history of slavery.
