商品簡介
Soyinka-Airewele (African and international politics, Ithaca College) and Edozie (international relations, Michigan State U.) provide a textbook of 22 essays that reframe discourses on African politics, histories, contemporary struggles, and accomplishments. African, New Zealand, European, and North American scholars of African literature, international relations and law, government, economics, politics, and women's and black studies, as well as authors and historians, cover such topics as identity, gender, slavery, the diaspora, colonialism, HIV, oil, human rights, history, politics, economics, security, society, literature, film, and health from diverse points of view and analytical perspectives, meant to provoke debate and challenge the Western framing, as well as present Africa as a comprehensive regional entity rather than dividing the continent between sub-Saharan and North Africa. There is no index. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
