Africa is having many miserable problems. Changes are needed in that continent to free the population from poverty. However, these changes cannot be introduced without having first discerned the foundation of the problems in an integrated way. It is very serious and dangerous to attack the consequences of a difficulty believing that they are the causes. This shows the importance of accurately determining the source of African misery as a key in the approach to the solution. Certain factors influencing the development of Africa have been studied by those outside Africa, but few thorough works by African scientists have systematically studied the real cause of Africa's misery through the practice of cramming, the African mentality, procreation, spiritual issues, politics, natural resource management, and the brain drain in the context of African countries. The purpose of this book is to fill this insufficiency of data and to show through a systemic analysis the causes, demonstrations and the consequences of the real difficulties of Africa, before suggesting ways to improve. Special attention has been paid to the challenges facing intellectuals. After a review of literature about the development of African countries and the professional drifts, this book has shown the importance of human resources and of knowledge in the developmental processes of Africa. The weaknesses of education systems prevailing in Africa have been studied, as well as the religious skids. After an initial summary of the leading causes of underdevelopment in Africa, a thorough analysis of some causes has been made. The main roots of Africa underdevelopment analyzed and discussed include: -The "brain drain" of educated, creative and innovative citizens -Regional and tribal wars -The lack of a relevant University educational system and its weaknesses -Common African cultural thought that conditions people -Mentality that blocks progress -Negativism and lack of hope in daily life -Unjust recruiting system -Management of natural resources and how other countries are poaching Africa's resources -Witchcraft and aberrant spiritualism as a deterrent to education and progress -Political and administrative corruption, misdirection as well as delineating the characteristics of the leader Africa needs -Birth control and other procreation issues -African intoxication by Western cultures -Rote learning and its negative impacts on economical and technological development After analyzing the difficulties that are ravaging the continent, suggestions were made to improve the development by: -Reform of educational systems and financing of education -Support of scientific research -Promotion and further encouragement of the deserving -Management of the brain drain -Better human resource management -Birth-control and better parental responsibility -Fighting against sorcerers -Change of attitude of African politicians -Changes in African mentality towards more positive attitudes -Education and responsibility of Africans on development issues -Finally, some examples of educated people that Africa needs have been listed Thus, the present book provides to anyone interested in the development of Africa, a tool of information, reflection, and work on the true problems and solutions in these nations. Some ideas advanced in this book can be applied to other continents as well because the same difficulties can be encountered outside Africa. Therefore, this book is a compelling solution-directed study of African culture, assets, underdevelopment, and potential by a native-born African scientist. It is an analysis of the real causes of African poverty and the solutions to launch Africa towards prosperity with an insider's review of deeply held beliefs and practices that bar progress.

In The Tears of the Black Man, award-winning author Alain Mabanckou explores what it means to be black in the world today. Mabanckou confronts the long and entangled history of Africa, France, and the United States as it has been shaped by slavery, colonialism, and their legacy today. Without ignoring the injustices and prejudice still facing blacks, he distances himself from resentment and victimhood, arguing that focusing too intensely on the crimes of the past is limiting. Instead, it is time to ask: Now what? Embracing the challenges faced by ethnic minority communities today, The Tears of the Black Man looks to the future, choosing to believe that the history of Africa has yet to be written and seeking a path toward affirmation and reconciliation.

"In Tears, Fire, and Blood, James Meriwether offers a sweeping history of how the United States responded to decolonization in Africa. The new political terrain of the twentieth century drew out national and ideological dilemmas in the U.S.: democratic principles of self-determination ran up against fears of potential Communist gains, and ideals of one person/one vote crashed against doubts about weakening western alliances and anticommunist partners. A decolonizing Africa helped propel the black freedom struggle around the world, forcing the U.S. to confront the realities of civil rights abroad as it fought over how to achieve equality at home. Meriwether demonstrates that Washington veered between strengthening African nationalist movements seeking majority rule and independence and bolstering anticommunist European allies seeking to maintain white rule. Ultimately, the U.S. supported European allies and white minority rule, choosing national security interests and racial prejudices over anticolonialism"--

A prizewinning historian's epic account of the scramble to control equatorial Africa In just three decades at the end of the nineteenth century, the heart of Africa was utterly transformed. Virtually closed to outsiders for centuries, by the early 1900s the rainforest of the Congo River basin was one of the most brutally exploited places on earth. In Land of Tears, historian Robert Harms reconstructs the chaotic process by which this happened. Beginning in the 1870s, traders, explorers, and empire builders from Arabia, Europe, and America moved rapidly into the region, where they pioneered a deadly trade in ivory and rubber for Western markets and in enslaved labor for the Indian Ocean rim. Imperial conquest followed close behind. Ranging from remote African villages to European diplomatic meetings to Connecticut piano-key factories, Land of Tears reveals how equatorial Africa became fully, fatefully, and tragically enmeshed within our global world.

A Foreign Affairs Best Book of 2022 "Marvelous.…Spector’s gripping book.…[helps] us to understand why the legacy of these conflicts is still with us today." —Sheila Miyoshi Jager, New York Times Book Review The end of World War II led to the United States’ emergence as a global superpower. For war-ravaged Western Europe it marked the beginning of decades of unprecedented cooperation and prosperity that one historian has labeled “the long peace.” Yet half a world away, in China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Korea, and Malaya—the fighting never really stopped, as these regions sought to completely sever the yoke of imperialism and colonialism with all-too-violent consequences. East and Southeast Asia quickly became the most turbulent regions of the globe. Within weeks of the famous surrender ceremony aboard the U.S.S. Missouri, civil war, communal clashes, and insurgency engulfed the continent, from Southeast Asia to the Soviet border. By early 1947, full-scale wars were raging in China, Indonesia, and Vietnam, with growing guerrilla conflicts in Korea and Malaya. Within a decade after the Japanese surrender, almost all of the countries of South, East, and Southeast Asia that had formerly been conquests of the Japanese or colonies of the European powers experienced wars and upheavals that resulted in the deaths of at least 2.5 million combatants and millions of civilians. With A Continent Erupts, acclaimed military historian Ronald H. Spector draws on letters, diaries, and international archives to provide, for the first time, a comprehensive military history and analysis of these little-known but decisive events. Far from being simply offshoots of the Cold War, as they have often been portrayed, these shockingly violent conflicts forever changed the shape of Asia, and the world as we know it today.

In this transnational account of black protest, Nicholas Grant examines how African Americans engaged with, supported, and were inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement. Bringing black activism into conversation with the foreign policy of both the U.S. and South African governments, this study questions the dominant perception that U.S.-centered anticommunism decimated black international activism. Instead, by tracing the considerable amount of time, money, and effort the state invested into responding to black international criticism, Grant outlines the extent to which the U.S. and South African governments were forced to reshape and occasionally reconsider their racial policies in the Cold War world. This study shows how African Americans and black South Africans navigated transnationally organized state repression in ways that challenged white supremacy on both sides of the Atlantic. The political and cultural ties that they forged during the 1940s and 1950s are testament to the insistence of black activists in both countries that the struggle against apartheid and Jim Crow were intimately interconnected.
