Jostling Between “Mere Talk” and Blame Game?

One of the fundamental challenges in rethinking and remaking
development in Africa from a Pan African perspective is that too much
“mere talk” and “blame game” have played out at the expense of “real
action”. The blame game and mere talk on Africa’s poverty and
underdevelopment jam have remained printed in bold on the face of the
continent, yet Africa’s dire situation warrants nothing less than real
emphatic action. This book focuses on the empirics of the production and
reproduction of poverty and underdevelopment across Africa in a fashion
that warrants urgent pragmatic policy attention and quest for workable
homegrown solutions to persistent predicaments. The volume advances the
need to recognise the realities of global inequalities and move swiftly
in a most informed and transparent manner to address the poverty and
underdevelopment conundrum. The book sets the tempo and pace on the need
for praxis and pragmatism on the African situation. It is handy to
students and practitioners in African studies, poverty and development
studies, global studies, policy studies, economics and political
science.
