Despite the long history of decolonization as a 'third world' political project, decolonization as an intellectual project has gained tremendous momentum in recent times, signalled by movements such as #RhodesMustFall, #BlackInTheIvory, and Why Is My Curricula So White among others. These movements situate the coloniality of power within ongoing practices in academia and seek to disrupt systemic racism and oppressive structures of knowledge production and dissemination. Assembling critical perspectives of scholars engaged in African Studies and other cognate disciplines on the continent and in the diaspora, the book elucidates and fuses ideas together to produce nuanced pedagogical advances in the service of students, academics, and educators. It contributes ideas on how to navigate systems, curricula, and academic contexts that have perpetuated a colonial toxicity that undermines Black agency and epistemic justice. This book will be of interest to students, researchers, educational leaders and policy makers across diverse disciplines interested in championing a decolonial praxis in academic spaces and universities.

This book critically examines the practice and meanings of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and how the movement has facilitated a positive and somewhat unquestioned image of the global corporation.

For over five decades, huge sums of money and other forms of assistance have littered the continent of Africa. With so much ¿goodwill¿ but so little positive results to show forth, many people around the world have been questioning aid effectiveness.This book is a short analysis of the impact foreign aid (and other forms of foreign intervention) has had and its future in Africa, with particular reference to Ghana. The book also re-introduces to readers the culture-development argument from a Ghanaian point of view since development encompasses every aspect of the people it targets. Nathan Andrews offers an account of Ghana''s experience under the Structural Adjustment Program and the impact of foreign assistance received during this regime. The book aims at the general public who are interested in the socio-economic aspects of Africa, particularly students seeking to understand the context of Ghana''s development. It is brief, precise and straight to the point; and it could also be of benefit to both policy makers and development practitioners both in Ghana and abroad who might be thinking of finding alternative explanations to why foreign aid has failed so far in most places.
