Abstract:
Globalisation has become a popular term since the late 1990s, yet its meaning and impact remain contested. Despite the claims, it has not become as universal as it sounds. Africa shows this clearly: there may be a “global village”, but most people still cannot enter it, while only a few benefit.
This volume asks what that transition means for African peoples and cultures, for humanity in both the North and South, and especially for vulnerable groups and the poor. The contributors explored these questions and the real human stakes behind them.
