“Pan” Africa Rising: The Cultural Political Economy of Nigeria’s Afri-Capitalism and South Africa’s Ubuntu Business (Contemporary African Political Economy)

This book uses Nigeria2019s Afri-capitalist and South Africa2019s Ubuntu Business models as case studies that reconcile the tension between Africa Rising and Pan African economics, presenting their convergence as Africa2019s viable Third Way route to global development. In presenting Afri-capitalism and Ubuntu Business as national, business sector manifestations of a 201Cnew201D Pan Africanism, the author explores Africa2019s 201Cculturalist201D path in engaging the international political economy. This is an African customized engagement that parallels the alternative models of China2019s 201Cmarket-socialism201D and Latin America2019s 201C21st C Socialism201D. All present alternatives to realist, liberal, and structuralist standpoints, inclining instead toward constructivist political economies derived from the perspectives and subject conditions of African economic histories, socio-cultures, alternative modernities, and agent-led initiatives."
