The colonial period and post-independence era are two exciting historical pegs
with shared and diametrically opposed narratives on the people and continent
of Africa. They are two periods with leverages of continuities and
discontinuities. While the colonial period for the most part left the African
people as passive recipients of European socioeconomic and political values,
colonialism at the same time created strands of resistance that manifested
variously as nationalism. The outcome of the nationalist effervescence was the
'termination' of the colonial enterprise and the appropriation of political
independence. The independence of most African states was accompanied by a
craving to indigenize the political institutions and to orient development
along African paradigms. This scholarly compendium of 15 chapters integrates
different narratives on the state, stakes, and prospects of the African
continent in responding to dynamic socio-economic and political exigencies.
