OverviewThis volume proposes a wholesale adoption of African Indigenous Knowledge Systems (AIKS) as a paradigm for Africa’s renewal and freedom from the whims of foreign interests. These systems, as argued here, involve balancing short-term thinking and immediate gratification with longer-term planning for future generations of Africans and the continent’s diaspora.The book will be of interest to anyone concerned with development studies in Africa and its diaspora, as it offers plausible solutions to Africa’s chronic developmental problems that can only be provided from within Africa, rather than through the intervention of external third parties. As such, it provides vital contributions to the ongoing search for viable answers to the challenges that Africa faces today.
