Description

Africans and Globalization: Linguistic, Literary, and Technological Contents and Discontents considers the substance and dissatisfactions of globalization on Africa and its Diaspora. Although variously framed across disciplines, globalization has generally entailed non-milieu bound interactions, which alters the existence of its participants. The concerns about the impact of globalization have been raised in relation to Africa and have related to the helpful and deleterious effects. Increasingly, industrialization (without consideration of environmental impacts) and westernization (including erosion of indigenous values) are perceived as synonymous with globalization. This multidisciplinary collection contends that in theory, globalization linked Africa with the world through trade and information sharing, thereby increasing development. This collection provides reflections based on contemporary research within the linguistic, literary, and technological areas of study. It illustrates that globalization is not a single process but rather a complex set of processes that seemingly operate in an oppositional manner. The collected works make for exciting appraisal as they highlight some of the contents and discontents of globalization across multiple areas of human endeavor in Africa and its diaspora. Review This book is a welcome addition to the wide-ranging discourse on globalization in general, particularly on its effects, both positive and negative, on the African continent and Africans in the diaspora. Although much has been said about this topic from various viewpoints and angles, what sets the current volume apart is its focus on its impacts on African people and societies.-- "African Studies Quarterly" This is a feast of ideas on how Africans are living with, domesticating, and expanding the frontiers of globalization. This work is a succinct exploration of the many roads Africans are taking to culturally translate their global experiences through the arts, language, literature, pedagogy, and technology. Written by men and women who are actually living the experience, it promises to be an excellent book to teach with on any topic dealing with culture and globalization in the global south.--Akin Ogundiran, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte About the Author Akinloye Ojo is associate professor in the Department of Comparative Literature and the African Studies Institute, University of Georgia.
