Abstract
: 
"This volume, which draws together contributions from academics based in Africa and its dispora, situates the continent within its historic and socio-political background: from the 1960s, the decade of independence, through to its development outlook as the new millennium unfolds. It examines a broad range of contemporary issues - from development and culture to linguistics and is unique in identifying and examining issues that are common both to Africa and the diaspora."--BOOK JACKET.
