Enough is enough! For an alternative diagnosis of the African crisis

Abstract

This paper focuses on aspects of an alternative diagnosis for the African crisis. It marshals perspectives and opinions about Africa, the problematics of the economic realities, the continental challenges and needs, the interaction between the perspectives that are presented and the historical heritage of the people of that continent. It seeks alternative interpretations about Africa’s past experiences that justify the difficult overall situation, and, towards the end, it reviews the controversial development concept.
