    Intellectuals and African Development: Pretension and Resistance in African Politics (Africa in the New Millennium)

    Intellectuals and African Development: Pretension and Resistance in African Politics (Africa in the New Millennium) By Bjorn Beckman, Gbemisola Remi Adeoti
    2006 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 1842777645 | PDF | 1 MB


    This book looks at different responses to the African predicament from prominent writers like Soyinka, Ngugi, and Achebe, the military men in power and the students who defy repression. It suggests that intervention by international agencies who claim to promote "democracy" and "empower the youth" may reinforce authoritarian attitudes and structures, and gives voice to the outrage, ridicule, revolutionary ardour and reformist caution of those directly affected. It also exposes the shallow pretences of those in power as well as the hypocrisy and arrogance of the foreign helpers, and concludes that being an "insider" or an "outsider" is less important than being committed to listen to ordinary people.
