The Emerald Handbook of African Studies

While the past decade has witnessed the emergence of more studies dedicated to Africa and an emphasis on the significance of paying attention to issues across the continent, the search for more answers demands extending the reach of contemporary scholarly work. The Emerald Handbook of African Studies works to ‘break down’ hinges on the issues limiting Africa’s development. In fact, more dialogue and debates across subject areas will help refine our knowledge towards investigating pertinent and analogous issues.Filling this gap in existing scholarship, Omeihe and Harrison distinctly and carefully curated an exploration of thematic areas, (general concerns, entrepreneurship and Economic Institutions, intersections of culture and society, politics and systems of behaviour), which generations of scholars, practitioners and policy makers can resonate with and apply in their work. The Emerald Handbook of African Studies forces one to rethink the very nature of African research, serving as a catalyst for new fresh thought and acuminating our understanding of the social world.
