Taylor & Francis Structural Change in Africa
Book SynopsisDebates on African development continue to downplay the achievement of the continent: economic achievements are diminished and the perception of a conflict prone continent continues. Many of the policy prescriptions externally imposed on African countries have done little to transform the continent largely because they have been conceived and applied without context.Using literature from diverse origins, this book expands our knowledge about Africa and makes practical suggestions as to how successful development in a complex, yet dynamic continent can be achieved. Widening the policy dialogue and providing alternative thinking on the key elements and full extent of opportunities and challenges towards achieving the socio-economic transformation of Africa, the book moves the debate from the rhetoric to reality. As a considered reflection on the âAfricaâs transformationâ narrative, it outlines the practical pathways necessary for Africaâs sustainable develoTrade Review"This is the book so many of us have waited for and will welcome as an informed and rigorously empirical contribution to the challenges of our times – loss of biodiversity, fragile and fading social cohesion and the emergence of new forms of authoritarianism. It’s narrative of possibility, based on empirical evidence and informed by pluralist scholarship, constitutes a new departure in the economics of development. It is a work that is invaluable, not only to the continent of the young and the future that is Africa, but for all scholars and policy-makers concerned at the insufficiency of current economic models in delivering a sustainable global world. We are indebted to Lopes and Kararach." - Michael D. Higgins, President of Ireland "Capturing the diversity and richness of African narratives about development - past, present and future - remains a complex challenge. In their endeavour to bring context and perspective to Africa’s contemporary discourse about the future, Lopes and Kararach offer an eclectic yet compelling review of ‘narratives about Africa’ to demonstrate that perceptions often are not reality when it comes to reporting, research or rhetoric about Africa. Geography, demography and economy take centre stage in their search for greater African agency in articulating choices and pathways that will shape Africa’s future development and transformation. A rich and thought-provoking book that conveys opportunity and excitement about Africa’s diverse and fast changing prospects." - Achim Steiner, Administrator, United Nations Development Programme"This timely book presents one of the critical issues of development economics in the twenty-first century, namely Africa’s structural change. It combines both theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence to examine the challenges and misconceptions surrounding Africa’s structural transformation, and the central importance of industrialization. It will undoubtedly generate optimism about Africa. A must read to policymakers, researchers, and students!" - Arkebe Oqubay, Ethiopian Minister and author of "Made in Africa" (OUP, 2015)"Western based depictions of Africa massively underestimated its size and just about everything else about the continent. New tropes, such as ‘Africa Rising’ are equally misleading. The continent urgently needs a new narrative to support a transformative agenda underpinned by African agency. This is exactly what Lopes and Kararach provide in their superb new book which is essential reading for everyone with any interest in the future of Africa." - Kevin Marsh, Professor of Tropical Medicine and Director of Oxford Africa Initiative, Oxford University"This book is different! So, a must read. It presents a rich and refreshing perspective on Africa’s need for structural transformation with analysis based on diverse intellectual and philosophical approaches. Ultimately, it is Africans who must act to change mindsets by building a continent whose reality awakens and inspires." - Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former Nigerian Senior Minister, former World Bank Managing Director and Chair of GAVI and Africa Risk Capacity"This will be the first book I place in the hands of the emerging African leaders who study at the Mandela School. Not ignoring political economy challenges, Lopes and Kararach have written an articulate and persuasive exhortation to African agency in development, also describing the immense imminent potential of African economic development. It is comprehensively researched and eloquently copy edited." - Alan Hirsch, Professor and Director of the Nelson Mandela School of Public Governance, University of Cape Town"A forward-looking assessment of Africa’s prospects and the pathways for achieving structural transformation and inclusive growth. This is a must read for policymakers and students of African economies." - Fantu Cheru, Emeritus Professor, American University, Washington, DC"This book debunks the dominant analysis of Africa economic and social condition, examine methodically the politics, policy prescriptions and knowledge production that have reworked and accounted for the gains (often neglected) and regressions (always highlighted) of the continent's development trajectory. It paints a rich and multifaceted future of an awakening continent. An essential reading for everyone interested in the future of Africa." -Mamadou Diouf, Leitner Family Professor of African Studies and History, Columbia University"This is a thought proving and timely book on the prospects of and barriers to Africa's economic transformation. Its arguments challenge a number of liberal ideas about the best paths to economic prosperity making it all the more interesting." - Jonathan Rosenthal, Africa Editor, The EconomistTable of ContentsOverview Chapter 1: Defining structural transformation Chapter 2: Seeking transformation? Africa is not alone Chapter 3: Transformation through industrialization Chapter 4: Understanding other key enablers of Africa's structural transformation Chapter 5: Innovative development financing sources Chapter 6: Selected experiences: drilling into the country dimension Chapter 7: African circumstances and efforts into the future

Taylor & Francis Voices of Sharpeville
Book SynopsisThis is the first in-depth study of Sharpeville, the South African township that was the site of the infamous police massacre of March 21, 1960, the event that prompted the United Nations to declare apartheid a crime against humanity.Voices of Sharpeville brings to life the destruction of Sharpeville's predecessor, Top Location, and the careful planning of its isolated and carceral design by apartheid architects. A unique set of eyewitness testimonies from Sharpeville's inhabitants reveals how they coped with apartheid and why they rose up to protest this system, narrating this massacre for the first time in the words of the participants themselves. Previously understood only through the iconic photos of fleeing protestors and dead bodies, the timeline is reconstructed using an extensive archive of new documentary and oral sources including unused police records, personal interviews with survivors and their families, and maps and family photos. By identifying nearly alTrade Review"Based on thorough and discerning scholarship, the book provides new evidence on the ‘neglected’ and ‘hidden’ history of Sharpeville. The authors are commended for this insightful narrative to dispel the one-sided and widely disseminated account of the Sharpeville Massacre by those who supported apartheid."Chitja Twala, University of Limpopo, South Africa"This compelling and thought-provoking book promotes the idea that the ‘truth’ in History as a discipline is itself based on shifting sand. Nancy Clark and William Worger prove that, if proof is needed, the production of history is a process of constant negotiation between evidence and interpretation where many questions are capable of a wide variety of answers."Sifiso Mxolisi Ndlovu, The University of South Africa"Sixty-three years after the apartheid killings at Sharpeville, the voices of the victims are heard, thanks to imaginative and dogged research by Nancy Clark and William Worger. And, startlingly, they report that the police count of 69 dead and 186 wounded – which has been accepted and endlessly repeated over the years – has always been a lie. This is a revelatory book."Benjamin Pogrund, former deputy-editor of The Rand Daily Mail, South Africa"Working intensively with Sharpeville’s community, Clark and Worger aim here to right the wrongs of a past that has left many of the dead unrecognised and the injured disregarded. They reconstruct a history of Sharpeville as a place, as a community, and as a memory and an icon. After more than fifty years, Sharpeville remains the place where the anti-apartheid struggle went global: and with this lucid and compelling book, we at last know why."David M Anderson, University of Warwick, UKTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Belgian Congo as a Developmental State
Book SynopsisThis book challenges assumptions that poor post-colonial economic performance is always a direct product of colonialism by reconsidering the Belgian Congo (19081959) as a developmental state.The book demonstrates that despite the colonial system's economic exploitation and extraction, brutality, excessive taxation, and inequities, the Belgian Congo achieved successes in developing the economy in a short period of time. The Belgian Congo was able to achieve this by investing its higher rates of fiscal revenue in political stability, physical infrastructure, education, and healthcare. By reconsidering the Belgian colonial state as a developmental state, this book encourages scholars to adopt a more nuanced analysis of African history. Considering state capacity and state autonomy as key features of a developmental state, the book demonstrates that colonial state managers in the Belgian Congo were able to supply these public goods that sustained economic growth for decades. WhilTable of Contents1. An overview of the argument, 2. The Leopoldian State and economy of plunder, 3. Political order and rule of law in the Belgian Congo, 4. Belgian Congo and basic infrastructure for economic development, 5. Property rights and economic development, 6. Revenue imperative, state building, and economic development, 7.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Religion Public Health and Human Security in
Book SynopsisThis book critically examines the intersection of religion, public health and human security in Nigeria. Focusing on Christianity, Islam, traditional religions and intra-religious doctrinal divergencies, the book explores the impact faith has on health-related decisions and how this affects security in Nigeria. The book assesses the connection between religion and five contemporary major health and medical issues in the country. This includes the issue of epidemics and pandemics such as the Covid-19 pandemic, vaccines, contraception, blood transfusion and the controversies associated with miracle healing. In particular, this book explores situations where individuals have the power of choice but instead embraces faith and religious positions that contradict science in the management of their health and, in the process, expose themselves and others to personal health insecurity. It investigates aspects of human security including the wider international ramifications of health issuesTable of ContentsPreface.
