Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book provides a profound exploration of the concept of a "human minimum" as articulated by the renowned African philosopher H. Odera Oruka. It delves into the pressing issue of global inequality and examines how basic rights such as access to food, shelter, education, and healthcare are fundamental to human dignity and should be accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status. In a world where the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen, Oruka’s philosophical framework is a blueprint for addressing this divide. Through a critical analysis of Oruka’s work, this book presents the philosophy of a "human minimum" and describes why basic rights are essential to ensuring justice, equity, and sustainable development. It contextualizes these ideas within contemporary challenges, including poverty, unemployment, and the global disparities exacerbated by economic systems that favor wealth accumulation by the few.This exploration pushes beyond abstract theory, offering practical insights into policy solutions and societal structures that can uphold the dignity of every individual. It argues that achieving this requires not only ethical responsibility but systemic change in political and economic structures. By rethinking development, governance, and social justice through the lens of Oruka’s philosophy, the book presents a compelling case for policies and actions that guarantee the human minimum for all. This book is of interest to scholars of philosophy, social justice advocates, policymakers, and anyone committed to addressing global inequality. It provides a roadmap for how societies can move toward a more equitable future.

This monograph provides a transdisciplinary exploration of postcolonial African development and sovereignty. Situated in the broader context of Africa’s post-independence condition, where colonialism’s formal end gave way to neocolonial realities, the book argues that understanding this condition requires not only historical investigation but philosophical reorientation. Chapters span a wide analytical terrain; from colonial-era legal and political structures to the ongoing economic and digital colonization of the continent. By threading together discussions on corruption, religion, youth movements, gender, Pan-Africanism, and trade, the book constructs a holistic and intersectional narrative of Africa’s unfinished liberation. The author builds on the works of Frantz Fanon, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, Samir Amin, Walter Rodney, and Achille Mbembe, proposing that the path forward lies in epistemic sovereignty, cultural reclamation, economic delinking, and continental unity.Merging African history, political theory, cultural studies, and global economics to provide a holistic critique and vision of Africa’s postcolonial condition and potential, this volume will be of interest to students and scholars of African studies, philosophy, postcolonial studies, development studies, sociology, and global studies, practitioners in African Union institutions, NGOs, and think tanks, as well as anyone generally interested in African liberation discourse.

Not only does this book detail the colonial experiences in Africa through what the author refers to as a ‘social construct,’ it also vehemently criticises modern African governments for their current corruption and maintenance of the continent's situation. This book presents a two-pronged analysis of Africa’s predicament by looking at the duality of ethics and identity. It tries to trace the problematic aspects of westernization and modernization within the contexts of neo-colonialism and continued exploitation of Africa by external forces, as well as the complicity of Africans themselves.

This book redefines the debate on Africa’s future by confronting the hidden continuities of colonial power that persist in economics, education, and governance. By revealing how structural dependency and epistemic subjugation still constrain the continent’s autonomy, this book advocates for a radical reorientation toward self-determination grounded in African values, knowledge systems, and collective agency. The author engages both historical depth and contemporary urgency, offering a visionary blueprint for rebuilding Africa through decolonial thought, ethical leadership, and continental solidarity. Scholarly, provocative, and transformative, the book positions Africa not as a subject of history, but as its author.
