Beschreibung
Why hasn't Africa been able to respond to the challenges of modernity andglobalization? Going against the conventional wisdom that colonialism broughtmodernity to Africa, Ol f mi T w claims that Africa was already becomingmodern and that colonialism was an unfinished project. Africans aspired to liberaldemocracy and the rule of law, but colonial officials aborted those efforts whenthey established indirect rule in the service of the European powers. T w looksclosely at modern institutions, such as church missionary societies, to recognizeAfrican agency and the impulse toward progress. He insists that Africa can get backon track and advocates a renewed engagement with modernity. Immigration, capitalism, democracy, and globalization, if done right this time, can be tools that shape apositive future for Africa.
