Full Description
This book chronicles how civil society has interacted with time-honoured and current challenges confronting the African continent. It straddles democracy, human rights, regional integration, climate change, global pandemics, and technological transformation, and how civil society is shaping these. All indices of development and the entrenchment of democracy demonstrate the shortcomings of untrammelled state power, and the inexhaustive nature of literature that tends to analyse the African condition solely from state actors. As the continent with the youngest population but the poorest conditions, a considerable portion of which points to state culpability, the clarion call that this book makes for a more activist civil society is brought into sharp relief.
