Remapping Africa in the Global Space is a visionary and interdisciplinary volume that restores Africa?s image using a multidisciplinary lens. It incorporates disciplines such as sociology, education, global studies, economics, development studies, political science and philosophy to explore and theorise Africa?s reality in the global space and to deconstruct the misperceptions and narratives that often infantilise Africa?s internal and international relations. The contributions to this volume are a hybrid of both ?outsider? and ?insider? perspectives that create a balanced critical discourse that can provide ?standard? paradigms that can adequately explain, predict, or prevent Africa?s current misperceptions and myths about the African ?crisis? and ?failure? status. The authors provide a holistic, and perhaps, anticolonial and anti-hegemonic perspective that can benefit a wide spectrum of academics, scholars, students, development agents, policy makers in both governmental and non-governmental organisations and engage some alternative analyses and possibilities for socio-politico and economic advancement in Africa. The book provides up-to-date scholarly research on continental trends on various subjects and concerns of paramount importance to globalisation and development in Africa. ?The book is brilliant! Remapping Africa in the Global Space: Propositions for Change explores Africa from the perspective of academics specialised in subject matters pertaining to the continent. In this age of globalisation, I find this book invaluable. It is a good read as it dissects analyses and presents issues affecting the continent in an articulate and cogent way. I highly recommend its use in academic institutions!? ? Magnus Mfoafo-M?Carthy, Assistant Professor, Lyle S. Hallman Faculty of Social Work; Fellow of Tshepo Institute for the Study ofContemporary Africa, Wilfrid Laurier University, Kitchener, Canada ?More than anything else, Remapping Africa in the Global Space: Propositions for Change speaks to the complex, multifaceted, and interfused character of the development challenges and prospects of Africa. Indeed, few books have examined contemporary Africa as comprehensively and insightfully as this edited volume; it is widely welcomed in the African academic, scholarly and research arena.? ?
