Jostling Between "e;Mere Talk"e; and Blame G

One of the fundamental challenges in rethinking and remaking development in Africa from a Pan African perspective is that too much ,mere talk, and ,blame game, have played out at the expense of ,real action,. The blame game and mere talk on Africa,s poverty and underdevelopment jam have remained printed in bold on the face of the continent, yet Africa,s dire situation warrants nothing less than real emphatic action. This book focuses on the empirics of the production and reproduction of poverty and underdevelopment across Africa in a fashion that warrants urgent pragmatic policy attention and quest for workable homegrown solutions to persistent predicaments. The volume advances the need to recognise the realities of global inequalities and move swiftly in a most informed and transparent manner to address the poverty and underdevelopment conundrum. The book sets the tempo and pace on the need for praxis and pragmatism on the African situation. It is handy to students and practitioners in African studies, poverty and development studies, global studies, policy studies, economics and political science.
