Unravelling the Mysteries of Africa’s Underdevelopment

Changing Africa, One Idea at a Time

by John W. Forje

Unravelling the mysteries of Africa’s underdevelopment presents
an Afrocentric ideological understanding of the continent’s
fragmentation; a scientific and objective (Mijadala) discourse as well
as an approach of how to move progressively and sustainably Africa
forward. The breadth and depth of the book shows the unwavering
impoverishment and urgent need for the continent to stand up and take
the bull by the horn. It offers an inspiring means of grappling with the
continent’s problems to build the change we want – An African Wealth of
Nation – not the continent of collapsed, failed states under the
governance construct of centralised authoritarian regimes It is a
thought-provoking discourse that challenges us all to be inherent
participants in the reconstruction of a Brave New Africa far beyond the
21st Century.
