商品描述

This monograph provides a transdisciplinary exploration of postcolonial African development and sovereignty. Situated in the broader context of Africa's post-independence condition, where colonialism's formal end gave way to neocolonial realities, the book argues that understanding this condition requires not only historical investigation but philosophical reorientation. Chapters span a wide analytical terrain; from colonial-era legal and political structures to the ongoing economic and digital colonization of the continent. By threading together discussions on corruption, religion, youth movements, gender, Pan-Africanism, and trade, the book constructs a holistic and intersectional narrative of Africa's unfinished liberation. The author builds on the works of Frantz Fanon, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, Samir Amin, Walter Rodney, and Achille Mbembe, proposing that the path forward lies in epistemic sovereignty, cultural reclamation, economic delinking, and continental unity.

Merging African history, political theory, cultural studies, and global economics to provide a holistic critique and vision of Africa's postcolonial condition and potential, this volume will be of interest to students and scholars of African studies, philosophy, postcolonial studies, development studies, sociology, and global studies, practitioners in African Union institutions, NGOs, and think tanks, as well as anyone generally interested in African liberation discourse.

這本專著提供了一個跨學科的探索,針對後殖民非洲的發展與主權。置於非洲獨立後的更廣泛背景中,殖民主義的正式結束讓位於新殖民現實,書中主張理解這一狀況不僅需要歷史調查,還需要哲學上的重新定位。各章涵蓋了廣泛的分析領域;從殖民時期的法律和政治結構到當前大陸的經濟和數位殖民。通過將腐敗、宗教、青年運動、性別、泛非主義和貿易等議題串聯起來,這本書構建了一個整體且交叉的非洲未完成解放的敘事。作者基於Frantz Fanon、Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o、Samir Amin、Walter Rodney和Achille Mbembe的作品,提出未來的道路在於認識主權、文化重建、經濟脫鉤和大陸團結。

這本書融合了非洲歷史、政治理論、文化研究和全球經濟,提供了對非洲後殖民狀況及其潛力的整體批判和願景,將吸引非洲研究、哲學、後殖民研究、發展研究、社會學和全球研究的學生和學者,以及非洲聯盟機構、非政府組織和智庫的從業者,還有任何對非洲解放話語感興趣的人。
