Description: |
In these eight lucid and well-researched chapters, Professor
Uwazurike has taken a serious look at several dimensions of Pan-Africanism,
especially in the problem of rigged world systems and late-comer
economies With his emphasis on Africa's abysmal disadvantage in
light of the frenetic march...of technological innovations and the
coming of the Type 1 society as the Space Age dawns, this is a truly
innovative book.
— A.B. Assensoh, author of Kwame Nkrumah: Six Years in Exile, 1966-
