Africa Connects Series Editors G arth Myers ( University of Kansas) and Martin J. Murray (University of Michigan), This scholarly series stands at the intersection of globalization and develop- ment studies, examining the social, political, and economic effects of these processes on the African continent. For advocates and critics alike, globaliza- tion and development are inescapable “facts of life” that define the param- eters of social action not just in Africa but throughout the world. Yet while academic debates and policy discussions careen between praise and criticism, too little attention is given to how these processes actually operate in African settings. Rather than simply reacting to the mainstream scholarly literature, books in this series seek to creatively engage with contemporary debates as a way of developing new perspectives that establish and analyze the linkages between globalization and development.
