Reviews

'It will take many such books, but the present effort gives an important "state of the art" snapshot.'
Stephen Chan, School of Oriental and African Studies'African Intellectuals makes a compelling case that constructing a democratic, developmental, and socially inclusive social order has become a moral imperative and a question of survival for Africa ... because it provides a comprehensive understanding and grasp of the key components of an African renaissance, this book will be of considerable value to all those who are genuinely concerned with Africa's intellectual revival.'
