Developing Africa?
New Horizons with Afrocentricity
Developing Africa? New Horizons with Afrocentricity aims to contest the Eurocentric narrative of an African development discourse.
This book deploys the theory of Afrocentricity as an intellectual standpoint from which African thinkers should interrogate and reconceptualise the discourse of development in Africa. Particularly, the book argues in favour of the Afrocentric re-interpretation of African history, African culture and assertion of African agency as the core building wedge in the reconceptualisation of the ideal African development trajectory.
