To truly determine its rising influence and role in world affairs would mean unravelling the politics of imperialism, the Cold War and globalisation. Going beyond Euro-American perspectives, this book presents a comprehensive study of Africa and its role in global politics. Africa in World Affairs: -Closely examines the transition of Africa in its colonial and post-colonial phases; - Explores the intellectual history of modern Africa through liberation struggles, social movements, leaders and thinkers; - Investigates the continent's relationships with former colonial powers such as Britain, France, and Portugal; untangles complexities of French neo-colonialism and sheds light on the role of the superpower such as the USA and major and rising powers like China and India; - Highlights complex and wide-ranging diversities of the region and the ways in which it continues to negotiate with issues of modernity, racism and globalisation. A core text on Africa and the world, this book will be indispensable for students of African studies, politics and international relations, and history. It will also be a must-read for policy-makers, diplomats and government think tanks--Provided by publisher
