Description

In more ways than one, the geopolitical events of recent decades have involved Africa. More than ever before, the dynamic spiral of globalization has turned the world into a global village, with the effects of the war in Ukraine being felt almost instantaneously on the tropical periphery. But that's not all! Closer to home, the effervescence of electoral jousts and the resurgence of failed or successful coups d'état are putting the spotlight on our way of thinking and living in the political arena. For as we think, so we live. This is the objectivity of this book, which sets out to scrutinize African politics in the face of the world's new Westernization systems. Africa can only survive and play a dignified part at the negotiating table if it becomes aware of its values, by re-inhabiting the laborious exercise of consciousness-forming, which can only lead to the reconquest of the self. The solution does not always lie in slavish imitation of others, nor in segregation walled up in the particular, nor in dilution in the universal (Césaire), for in medio stat virtus.
