Contemporary Challenges and Decolonial Responses

Read on Louise Reader App.
Africa provides a unique perspective to understand today's global crises. This book explores how Africa, positioned historically in a subaltern role due to colonialism, offers a critical lens on the shifting dynamics of the modern world system.
The book presents how Africa's continued struggles against racism, colonialism, and economic exploitation make it a powerful site for rethinking the global order. Addressing ecological, ideological, financial, health, and systemic crises, the book demonstrates how problems in Africa are intrinsically linked to global issues. It argues that the so-called decolonization after 1945 was superficial, maintaining global hierarchies that marginalize Africa. With insights from thinkers like Nkrumah and Rodney, it challenges the entrenched structures of racial capitalism and offers new pathways for genuine global equity and justice.
This book will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of international relations, economics, political science, and related disciplines, as well as policy-makers interested in a better understanding of the ongoing global power shift and Africa's challenges and position within the modern world system.
