The book demonstrates that industrial development in Africa remains elusive due to an incomplete decolonization of African economies. Through a detailed discussion of the current status of industrial development and the past industrialisation strategies implemented on the continent, \u003ci\u003eIndustrialising Africa\u003c\/i\u003e clearly shows that sustained industrial growth will remain unattainable as long as African economies continue to operate under the colonial economic structure and logic, in which African countries have specialised in supplying raw materials to industrial centres. \u003ci\u003eIndustrialising Africa\u003c\/i\u003e argues that if Africa is to have a chance to significantly grow its industrial sector, it must decentre the colonial economic logic and learn to build industrial capabilities through an aggressive industrial strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eIndustrialising Africa\u003c\/i\u003e is an important and timely book that argues why industrialisation as one of the prime drivers of Africa’s economic structural transformation is requisite.
