About this title

Synopsis

An intellectual tour de force, here one of Africa's leading intellectuals offers a bold, imaginative and provocative analysis of the historical roots of the contemporary social crisis in Africa, and demonstrates the potential for an African Renaissance. The critical questions as to whether or not an African Renaissance is truly possible, and why Africa is finding it so difficult to achieve political stability and economic growth, are fully and clearly addressed. Professor Okumu puts forward a practical strategy to achieve economic growth and the political reforms required to make this possible. He analyses new initiatives such as the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) and discusses their potential role to contribute to stimulating foreign and local investment in Africa. A unique and timely approach to a long-standing problem, THE AFRICAN RENAISSANCE offers a practical, policy oriented programme for bringing about an African Renaissance - today.
