"Offers a delightful set of ... perspectives that explore the ethical, aesthetic, linguistic, scientific, technological, economic, and policy dimensions of human development from an African vantage point."—Ogundiran Soumonni, University of the Witwatersrand
In an effort to solve the enduring puzzle of slow economic and social development in Africa, the contributors to Indigenous Systems and Africa's Development advocate for a paradigm shift in both thinking and practice that would integrate indigenous knowledge systems into the development process.
