Description

In Modernization and the Crisis of Development in Africa: The Nigerian Experience, Jeremiah I. Dibua provides a deep look into the development challenges facing the continent. By examining the role of modernization, this book offers a way to understand the nature of the current crisis and identifies paths to overcome underdevelopment. Using Nigeria as a primary case study, the author tracks the country's development trajectory to illustrate broader continental issues. The text explores essential theoretical and empirical themes that are often missed in standard analyses. Readers will find detailed discussions on the impact of the state, class structures, gender, and culture. This work uses an interdisciplinary and radical political approach to provide a complete view of the subject. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in the sociology and anthropology of African development and the complexities of modern political economies.
