Description

In Modernization and the Crisis of Development in Africa: The Nigerian Experience, Jeremiah I. Dibua examines the complex nature of the development crisis across the continent. By focusing on Nigeria, the author uses its specific development trajectory to illustrate broader patterns of underdevelopment. This work moves beyond standard views by looking at how modernization shapes the dynamics of the current crisis and how these problems might be overcome. Through an interdisciplinary and radical political lens, the book addresses essential factors that are often left out of traditional studies. The analysis covers the role of the state, class, gender, and culture to provide a complete picture of the theoretical and empirical issues at hand. This text is an important resource for those studying the social sciences, anthropology, and the political evolution of African nations.
