This treatise offers civilizational historicism as the theory and practice of World Black struggle against global white supremacy in the 21st century. Divided into eleven chapters, this work is a theoretical elaboration and substantiation of empirical discoveries presented in Race and Reparations: A Black Perspective for the 21st Century (1996) and in a three-volumed study of the Atlantic slave traffic and slavery, Black Ordeal (1991).
Infused with the spirit of Pan-Africanism, this book exposes the global incompatibility between white world supremacy and Black liberation. It confronts all Africans-continentals and diasporans-with the twenty-first century's stark imperative: Power through reparations? Or the holocaust of continued white racism?
This books examines the failure of regional integration and cooperation to date in West Africa and explores some of the options for the revitalization of such initiatives. These include the creation of truly supranational mechanisms, regional cooperation in areas ranging from infrastructure development to regional security, policy reforms undertaken on a coordinated or unilateral basis, and the adoption of a flexible, pragmatic, and multipronged strategy, based on opportunities for common advantage.
This is a detailed study of the political and economic condition of the Republic of Gabon, focusing on the years of the oil boom (1975-1985). Because its population is small and its oil exports significant, Gabon is able to maintain the highest per capita income figures in all sub-Saharan Africa. Because of its small size, however, the country is a low "absorber" of its oil rents and is in a state of economic stagnation. These economic troubles have strengthened Gabon's dependency on France. The author vigorously explores the hypothesis that the Gabonese economy is "rentier"-reliant on external rent - and evolving into an allocation state.
This book is a critical review of the theory and practice of development in Africa during the period 1965-1994. The author identifies six leading issues in African development: economic reform; democratization; environment degradations; poverty reduction; indebtedness; and civil strife. By way of addressing these leading issues, Dr. Deng calls for the formulation of an African model of sustainable development, which would ensure consistency between development policy and African thought, heritage and institutions.
Safeguarding the Health Sector in Times of Macroeconomic Instability presents the results of an international initiative to document the effects of how health systems in the developing world have responded to macroeconomic austerity and adjustment measures.
