However, the fact that NGOs are an integral part of the everyday lives of men and women on the continent has been overlooked thus far. In Africa, NGOs are not remote, but familiar players, situated in the midst of cities and communities. By taking a radical empirical stance, this book studies NGOs as a vital part of the lifeworlds of Africans. Its contributions are immersed in the pasts, presents and futures of personal encounters, memories, decision-making and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This is a high-quality work of scholarship that can make a contribution to African Studies, NGO Studies, and Development Studies.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Victoria Bernal\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of California, Irvine\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“I really liked the book and deeply enjoyed reading it… there is nothing quite like it out there.
