It examines the historical roots of Africa?s socio-economic challenges, from the disruption of indigenous systems to the lasting effects of colonialism and neo-colonialism. By blending African philosophical perspectives with incisive critiques of globalization and governance, it provides a fresh and compelling analysis of the continent?s path toward true sovereignty and sustainable development. Rich with historical depth and philosophical insight, this work challenges conventional narratives about African development and offers innovative strategies for breaking free from dependency on global capitalist systems. With its interdisciplinary approach and forward-looking solutions, this book is an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and anyone invested in Africa?s transformation. Stephen Onyango Ouma is a Kenyan philosopher and author of several books.
