Abstract
Africa’s Third Liberation examines how the continent could finally liberate itself from degrading poverty. Mills and Herbst contend that Africa’s first two liberations, liberation from colonialists and liberation from the liberators, would remain incomplete unless Africa is able to ensure development that provides decent life to its people and jobs to the restless youth. The third liberation, according to the authors, should also free the continent from the deeply entrenched politics of patronage and corruption.
Shopping for Ideas to Unlock Africa’s Economic Potential Asnake Kefale
Africa's Third Liberation examine comment le continent pourrait enfin se libérer d'une pauvreté dégradante. Mills et Herbst soutiennent que les deux premières libérations de l'Afrique, la libération des colonialistes et la libération des libérateurs, resteraient incomplètes à moins que l'Afrique ne soit en mesure d'assurer un développement qui offre une vie décente à son peuple et des emplois à la jeunesse agitée. La troisième libération, selon les auteurs, devrait également libérer le continent des politiques profondément enracinées de clientélisme et de corruption.
