The value of this edited collection resides in its insightful descriptions of the impact of globalization on socioeconomic and education policies and outcomes within differing African contexts. In doing so, the set of critical essays by distinguished scholars and experienced insiders contributes in important ways to our understanding of the dynamics of globalization, both its negative consequences as well as the possibilities offered for social transformation in the region.
