“Of the many refreshing things about Komla Tsey’s book two things struck me as radically distinguishing it from much work on and approaches to development in Africa. He adopts a truly historical and broad approach to development that is foreign to the literature on development. He shows how development understood broadly as ‘the quest for a better future’ is not a project that arrived in Botoku, Ghana, recently but is one that people have been preoccupied with for centuries.”
