Synopsis

Contributes to the debate and discussion concerning certain accepted notions about Africa's economic underdevelopment problems, inspired by the observation that many such notions are misconceptions that create, place, and entrench psychological, social, intellectual, economic, and political impediments on the development process. Details specific ideas, how they cause damage, and approaches to debunking and replacing them. The failure of socialist experiments, gender-based strategies, traditional medicine, and growth centers are among the topics. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
