Africa and the Modern World

This collection of essays seeks to view the contemporary African Scene in the light of Africa's role in the capitalist world-economy: its incorporation into it, its peripheralization, its antisystemic movements. It views race and class household and nation not as primordial tradition but as continuous construction and reconstruction of the world systems. This is also a book of analysis of the politics of outside involvement( particularly of U.S. involvement) in Africa, and of the politics of Africa scholar's involvement. The essays themselves are a mode of involvement.

Power and Need in Africa

Wisner, Ben

Africa, according to the contributors to this anthology, is "one cultural river with numerous tributaries articulated by their specific responses to history and the environment." They concentrate on the similarities in behavior, perceptions, and technologies of African culture that tie those tributaries together. The fourteen original essays by leading scholars of African studies are organized in four general divisions which consider the ethno-cultural motif, the artistic tradition, concepts of cultural value, and cultural continua.
