Africa's Moment by Jean-Michel Severino
The 21st century will be the century of Africa. This continent was once seen as empty, rural, animist, poor, and forgotten by the world. This book presents the different facets of Africa, which will soon have a billion people, at the midpoint of the rapid population boom that humanity has ever known.Wall Street Journal
"Clearly conceived, cleanly structured, tightly written and lucidly expressed. A highly readable text."
European Voice
"Their optimistic analysis of the continent and its inhabitants should be read by all who are interested in looking at Africa with a fresh and different perspective."
African Security Review
"A significant book for those interested in questions of economic and cultural change."
The Age
"Africa's Moment has the great value of underlining that Africa's future is indeed in the hands of Africans."
South World
"A timely and positive assessment of Africa's prospects founded upon deep understanding and a distinctive perspective."
Paul Collier, University of Oxford
"The West is wedded to a retrograde vision of Africa's past and know nothing of its present, even less of its future. This unprecedented book forces revision of that outlook by addressing a world, just a few decades from now, where one in four human beings will be African."
Keith Hart, University of London
