Opis

This book provides an opportunity for the voices of pure and natural scientists to be heard on what can be done to pull Africa from its current developmental quagmire and bring about its transformative development, characterized by hallmarks that challenge the traditional definition of development. The following research questions, and many more, are answered in this book: Which development vision addresses the multidimensional problems and crises plaguing postcolonial Africa? Which context-specific approaches and paradigms tackle some of the problems and re-write the development story of Africa? What is the role of pure and natural sciences in the project of rethinking and remaking Africa? Transdisciplinary reflections from development experts and authors of different disciplines provide answers to these questions, among others.
