Africa Must Be Modern: A Manifesto

Africa Must Be Modern: A Manifesto

In a forthright and uncompromising manner, OlÃºfÃ©mi TÃ¡ÃwÃ² explores Africaâ€™s hostility toward modernity and how that hostility has impeded economic development and social and political transformation. What has to change for Africa to be able to respond to the challenges of modernity and globalization? TÃ¡ÃwÃ² insists that Africa can renew itself only by fully engaging with democracy and capitalism and by mining its untapped intellectual resources. While many may not agree with TÃ¡ÃwÃ²â€™s positions, they will be unable to ignore what he says. This is a bold exhortation for Africa to come into the 21st century.
