Description
African Renaissance in the Millennium frames a critical debate for the essential and necessary transformation of Africa in this epoch. E. Ike Udogu highlights how the political, social, and economic development enterprises are to be vigorously pursued in order to advance the continent's renewal. Bringing into focus the discourses that are significant to move the continent forward, the author provides possible strategies that might lead to peaceful coexistence, development, and generation of wealth for the area's recovery. After several decades of policy missteps, inadequate government, ethnic and religious conflicts, and civil war, Africa is in need of this resurgence.African Renaissance in the Millennium is a book appropriate to all levels of students and researchers with an interest in Africa's future.

Since independence, African countries have struggled to adopt political and economic systems that would enhance peaceful coexistence of population groups and promote genuine development. In African Renaissance in the New Millennium: The Political, Social and Economic Discourses on the Way Forward, E. Ike Udogu, a veteran student of African studies, provides a rigorous, multidisciplinary analysis of the failure of the postcolonial state in Africa to guarantee peaceful coexistence and enhance genuine economic development. The analysis is refreshing, highly compelling, informative, and provides very useful suggestions for moving the continent forward in the twenty-first century.
