| Abstract
|
:
|
"The authors introduce a new paradigm to study the African state, Fundi wa Afrika. According to this paradigm, the current African predicament may be explained by the systematic destruction of African states and the dispossetion, exploitation, and marginalization of African people through successive historical processes - the trans-Atlantic slave trade, imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. In this book, the authors argue that a new, viable, and modern African state based on the five political entities - the Federation of African States - should be built on the functional remnants of indiginous African political systems and institutions and based on African values, traditions, and culture."--Jacket.
