Poverty in Africa. Causes and prospects

This book is inspired by the scandalous poverty found in several African cities. Indeed several African cities share a common setting illustrating a tiny opulent minority and masses of poor people disguised as beggars homeless street children etc. Consequently this book undertakes a critical reflection on the experiences of Africans in all their diversity ranging from the Africa of cities and skyscrapers to the Africa of the depths and huts rooted in traditional customs and beliefs. Why is there poverty in Africa and how can it be overcome? This is the thorny question that runs through this book from cover to cover.
