Book Synopsis Global Africa by : Dorothy Hodgson

Download or read book Global Africa written by Dorothy Hodgson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Africa is a striking, original volume that disrupts the dominant narratives that continue to frame our discussion of Africa, complicating conventional views of the region as a place of violence, despair, and victimhood. The volume documents the significant global connections, circulations, and contributions that African people, ideas, and goods have made throughout the world—from the United States and South Asia to Latin America, Europe, and elsewhere. Through succinct and engaging pieces by scholars, policy makers, activists, and journalists, the volume provides a wholly original view of a continent at the center of global historical processes rather than on the periphery. Global Africa offers fresh, complex, and insightful visions of a continent in flux.
