Paperback. Condition: New. How poor countries can ignite economic growth without waiting for global action or the creation of ideal local conditionsCountries that ignite a process of rapid economic growth almost always do so while lacking what experts say are the essential preconditions for development, such as good infrastructure and institutions. In Beating the Odds, two of the world's leading development economists begin with this paradox to explain what is wrong with mainstream development thinking-and to offer a practical blueprint for moving poor countries out of the low-income trap regardless of their circumstances.

Nihilism and Negritude
Language: English
Published by Harvard University Press, US, 2016
ISBN 10: 0674970721 ISBN 13: 9780674970724
Hardback. Condition: New. "A terrific meditation on contemporary African modernity, conceived through a series of essays that reflect on the practices of everyday life." ?Kwame Anthony Appiah, New York UniversityThere are two common ways of writing about Africa, says Célestin Monga. One way blames Africa's ills on the continent's history of exploitation and oppression. The other way blames Africans themselves for failing to rise above poisonous national prejudices and resentments. But patronizing caricatures that reduce Africans to either victims or slackers do not get us very far in understanding the complexities and paradoxes of Africa today.A searching, often searing, meditation on ways of living in modern Africa, Nihilism and Negritude dispels the stereotypes that cloud how outsiders view the continent-and how Africans sometimes view themselves. In the role of a traveler-philosopher, Monga seeks to register "the picturesque absurdity of daily life" in his native Cameroon and across the continent. Whether navigating the chaotic choreography of street traffic or discoursing on the philosophy of café menus, he illuminates the patterns of reasoning behind everyday behaviors and offers new interpretations of what some observers have misunderstood as Africans' resigned acceptance of suffering and violence.Monga does not wish to revive Negritude, the once-influential movement that sought to identify and celebrate allegedly unique African values. Rather, he seeks to show how daily life and thought-witnessed in dance and music, sensual pleasure and bodily experience, faith and mourning-reflect a form of nihilism developed to cope with chaos, poverty, and oppression. This is not the nihilism of despair, Monga insists, but the determination to find meaning and even joy in a life that would otherwise seem absurd.
