Global Shadows Africa in the Neoliberal World Order

"Global Shadowsis one of the most thoughtful, provocative, intelligent books written about Africa in a very long time. It raises in the most profound possible way the question of what precisely Africa is in the twenty-first century: a place, a predicament, an imaginative object, a discursive trope, a 'place-in-the-world' whose economies and social orders, governance and geography, are undergoing bewilderingly complex transformations. James Ferguson challenges us to understand those transformations, this place-in-the-world, in an altogether fresh manner."-John Comaroff, University of ChicagoFerguson, James is the author of 'Global Shadows Africa in the Neoliberal World Order', published 2006 under ISBN 9780822337171 and ISBN 0822337177.
