商品簡介
This study of African philanthropy considers the distinctive nature of African philanthropy as contrasted with the usual meaning of philanthropy in Western and more developed countries, noting that in African philanthropy, peers give to peers. The book categorizes three types of African philanthropy: institutional, non-institutional or informal, and hybrid blends combining formal and informal aspects. It also examines institutional, religious, and social motivations for African philanthropy. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
