Emergent Issues in Decolonization and the Invented Africa

This book is meant to draw attention to the very idea of invented Africa and the process of the invention with the hope that by understanding that process we may look into the possibilities of de-inventing invented Africa. Through this the book examines how the continent can rise to the socio-economic world based on its cultural and historical context and content the book also explores the process of rediscovering the self-autonomy of the Africans from the European imperialism. The chief purpose of this book is to give Africans and any other person who is engaged in African studies the equipment for understanding the African experiences and his or her human situations in Africa furthermore the book critique the claim that Africa had to wait for the coming of Europeans for their social change or development to take place as an erroneous hypothesis of European social constructs. The book tries to moderate this premise by arguing that Africans are not just passive victims of westernization.
