Global Shadows: Africa in the Neoliberal World Order

good

It completely reshaped my worldview. A critical look at all of the social-political views we take as common sense. It's not just applicable to Africa, but the whole world.

This book was very interesting and brought up a lot of ideas I hadn't really considered before. Ferguson will challenge everything you think you know about globalism and will help you understand the complexity of the term "global."

For those interested in "Africa," development, or neoliberalism, this book is sure to offer new insights. Brilliant.

Whether you are interested in contemporary anthropological theory or Africa, this book will expand the way you think about some of the most important issues of our time.

Awesome

Ferguson has obviously been embedded in African studies for a considerable length of time, and this series of essays reflects that in its depth. As indicated in the introduction, the author works to evaluate the relationship between Africa and globalization from a pan-Africanist view. Using a series of case studies from his own research and others, Fergussen succeeds in painting a picture of a globalized Africa that often goes beyond conventional understandings of the continent.As a student of international development, I have almost exclusively looked at Africa through the lense of humanitarian crisis. This book provides the reader an opportunity to engage with the continent in a much more complex sense. I would certainly recommend it as the best text on Africa I've read so far.

I love this bookWriting style is amazing and the information is inspiringI recommend this book 100%

I bought this book because of an university exam. It is based on an ethnographic research in Africa carried out by the author. I think that it is a really interesting lecture.
