Items related to Africa's Future: Darkness to Destiny
Africa remains in continuous transition. Many of its communities are based around ancient or feudal structures, while others have modernized but experienced turbulent times. Modernity in Africa has largely been scattered and thinly rooted, but it now needs to be dynamic in order to sustain and enhance development for the future.
In Africa's Future: Darkness to Destiny, renowned African oil expert and economist Duncan Clarke provides a prism for understanding the continent's complex history and important future in a clear and comprehensive fashion.
Duncan Clarke is a leading thinker and speaker on the world/Africa oil game.

About the Author:
Duncan Clarke is a leading thinker and speaker on the world oil game, with 40 years’ economics practice and extensive experience in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. He is Chairman & CEO of Global Pacific & Partners, a leading advisory firm in Africa, and on world oil and gas. His previous books include Crude Continent, Empires of Oil and Battle for Barrels.
Review:
Duncan Clarke's latest book on Africa sets out to answer tough questions about the continent, often asked but seldom satisfactorily answered: What shaped Africa's economies? What went wrong? And can its recent growth be sustained? The result is rather like travelling around Africa in the company of a knowledgeable and entertaining guide who draws lessons from the past while mapping out the future. Challenging theories and defying conventional wisdom throughout, he knows Africa too well to come up with easy or glib answers and provides a stimulating and thought-provoking journey. -- Michael Holman, former Africa editor of Financial Times, London, was raised in central Africa and is author of three novels set in east Africa A richly detailed review of Africa's past and what it tells us about the future, providing a sobering view of the realities on the ground. Indispensable for anyone interested in global trends in the 21st century. -- Ian Morris
