The Economics and Politics of Poverty in Africa

This handbook provides a comprehensive guide to the economics, law and governance of carbon pricing in Africa. It explores carbon trading in Africa and sets the agenda for its adoption through robust economic policies, effective governance, contextualised policies and regulations. The specific challenges to carbon trading in Africa, the market mechanisms, laws and regulatory policies required to foster sustainable development within the continent are highlighted, with a particular focus on the energy, manufacturing and forestry sectors. The economic context underpinning carbon trading, the inclusion of Africa within global carbon trading schemes, forestry economics, the legal requirements of carbon trading, and the political economy of carbon pricing are also discussed.

This book offers a practical framework for emission trading and the green transition within Africa, which brings together ideas and approaches from across economics, law, and finance. It will be relevant to students, researchers, and policymakers interested in environmental and development economics.

The Palgrave Handbook of Carbon Trading in Africa

Epic in scope and personal recollection, The Music Is Black is the story of British imperial and colonial histories, the African diaspora, and contemporary British social history put into song.Black British music has been the soundtrack to periods of profound political, social, cultural, and demographic change. It is the music of identity, indefatigability, resistance, anger, celebration, love, loss; it is the music of possibility and hope.Opening with an exploration of the sound and identity of the African diaspora as shaped by the tumultuous forces of British imperialism and colonialism from the 1400s to 1900, Jacqueline Springer then surveys the black musical landscape in Britain from 1900 to 1970. Two major imports-American rap and Jamaican ragga-are singled out for their vital contributions to the homegrown genres central to the publication: lovers rock, Brit funk, 2 tone, jungle, drum &amp; bass, trip-hop, and UK garage and grime.Each genre is then considered with an academic framing of its social and political landscape and artist interviews that include Carroll Thompson, Neville Staple, Kenny Wellington, Bluey Maunick, Fabio and Grooverider, Skye Edwards and Ross Godfrey of Morcheeba, Megaman, DJ Target, and Slimzee.The Music Is Black bears witness to the resilience, ingenuity, and heart of all those who create.

This book offers a comprehensive guide to the economic potential of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in Africa, alongside a clear-eyed account of the challenges preventing them from realising that potential. It examines how SEZs can advance the integration, inclusivity, sustainability, and development of African economies, while critically assessing the economic practices and policies that continue to constrain their growth.Centred on a framework built around regional integration, the book presents practical, actionable solutions for attracting foreign direct and domestic investment, supporting industrial development, promoting trade, generating employment, and alleviating poverty. Particular attention is given to transport infrastructure and its pivotal role in deepening regional integration across the continent. Offering unique insight into how SEZs can foster sustainable development, drive job creation, strengthen financial stability, and support entrepreneurial growth, this book will be of particular interest to researchers, policymakers, and practitioners engaged in African and development economics.Chukwuemeka Osuigwe

Economic Policies and Strategies

Leveraging Special Economic Zones for Development and Integration in Africa

This book explores the evolution of sovereign wealth funds in Africa and their increasing significance for facilitating transaction-based economic development. How sovereign investment can address sustainable economic growth, infrastructure development, and sovereign debt reduction is presented.
Innovations in sovereign investment based on climate finance solutions, asset recycling and monetization, overcoming donor gaps in social sectors, capital markets products, and mobilizing co-investment funds from commercial institutions are also highlighted. An empirical framework for assessing the potential of African sovereign wealth funds to become economic powerhouses is also offered.
The book provides a roadmap for how every African country can and should establish a sovereign wealth or development fund, including those not endowed with a generous supply of natural resources. &nbsp;It will be relevant to fund managers, development professionals, commercial investors, students and researchers interested in African political economy.

African Sovereign Wealth Funds and New Directions in State Capitalism

'An unimpeachable, erudite jewel of a book on the politics of memorialisation. This beautifully written reckoning with history shines a clear light on how&nbsp;far and how tenaciously the shadows of colonialism reach into our lives in the present moment.&nbsp;A necessary and vital piece of work' Neel Mukherjee, Booker Prize shortlisted author of&nbsp;The Lives of Others

'Compulsively readable. Rather than a superficial skirmish in the culture wars, the struggle over statues is about how we live with and relate to one another, and the fight over equality and dignity in the present' Laleh Khalili, Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter

'A powerfully grounded and eminently thoughtful contribution to debates around race, caste, class and historical memory. At once considered and stimulating, Rao's account of how we grapple with the imperial past and present will stay standing even as statues rise and fall over the coming decades' Priyamvada Gopal, Professor of Postcolonial Studies, University of Cambridge

Statues around the world have become lightning rods for public debates over the meaning of our imperial past and postcolonial present. The Psychic Lives of Statues is an insightful exploration of these global controversies, demonstrating that beneath their surface lie deeper struggles over race, caste and the politics of decolonisation.

Rahul Rao takes readers on an international journey, revealing how these controversies have dramatically rearranged anticolonial political thought through the multifaceted lenses of justice, cultural memory and belonging.

The Psychic Lives of Statues explores both the toppling of colonial statues and the erection of postcolonial ones, illuminating how statues remain powerful and compelling forms of memorialisation. Engaging with artists, scholars and activists, Rao offers a fresh and exciting perspective on how we understand our past and present through iconography.

Rahul Rao is a Reader in International Political Thought in the School of International Relations at the University of St Andrews, and Professorial Research Associate at SOAS University of London. He is the author of two other books - Third World Protest: Between Home and the World (2010) and Out of Time: The Queer Politics of Postcoloniality (2020). He is a member of the Radical Philosophy editorial collective.

Education in Northern Nigeria (1981) is a comprehensive account of educational development in that region of Nigeria known from 1900 to 1967, when it was a single administrative and political unit, as the Northern Region. The authors have assembled in one volume contemporary material which is otherwise scattered in reports, journals, textbooks and official publications. They also provide background information which is drawn in part from their own practical experience. The book covers a wide range of topics and looks at the factors that have influenced the evolution of education in the area. It tackles various issues and problems. It examines, for example, the way in which Islamic culture has affected education and explores trends and developments in a period when socio-economic conditions were altering rapidly.

Maternal and Child Health in Rural Kenya (1984) is based on a longitudinal, multi-disciplinary, population-based research study in the Machakos district, a rural area of Kenya. The purposes of the project were to obtain accurate data on morbidity and mortality from a number of acute infectious childhood diseases and on the outcome of pregnancy; to investigate nutritional factors and those of the social, biological and physical environment which may have a bearing on the observed disease pattern; and to develop a system of registration for births, deaths and morbidity suitable for use in an area of limited resources. Data for this study was collected over a seven-year period and the book has major implications for those concerned with health care in less-developed countries.

Constitutionalism in Asia

This book uses the concept of 'constitutional moments' as a lens to study constitutional developments in 15 Asian jurisdictions in the last few decades. Whereas the theory of constitutional moments was originally developed by Bruce Ackerman in the context of American constitutional history, this book adapts and further develops this theory to elucidate and understand contemporary Asian constitutional phenomena. A broader conception of constitutional moments is developed that goes beyond Ackerman's concept of a highly-mobilised public effecting a significant transformation in the prevailing constitutional paradigm, with the 'moment' unfolding over a long duration. The chapters in this volume aim to identify key changes, developments, trends, transformations, and events that have had a profound impact on the polity and constitutional landscape, with lasting ripple effects that continue to affect recent constitutional developments of each jurisdiction concerned. Viewed collectively, these moments present a snapshot of the key issues in contemporary Asian constitutional developments. While the project of constitutionalism first began in the West, this book tells exciting stories from Asian jurisdictions as major laboratories of constitutionalism in the twenty-first century. It demonstrates that while significant progress has been achieved, the struggle for constitutionalism in Asia is still very much a work in progress, facing many trials and challenges in many places. Both hope and danger abound.

'Siollun's books are gripping'&nbsp;Financial Times

'An essential book you'll want to re-read many times - there is no more eloquent and informed guide than Max Siollun'&nbsp;Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireland

'Incredibly necessary, magnificently done'&nbsp;Remi Adekoya, author of&nbsp;It's Not About Whiteness, It's About Wealth

'Max Siollun has succeeded at making Nigeria's&nbsp;pre-colonial history accessible without flattening the tremendous diversity of its many peoples'&nbsp;Alex Thurston, University of Cincinnati

'An unforgettable read'&nbsp;Matthew T. Page, former US State Department&nbsp;Nigeria expert

'Max Siollun brings history to life with a cinematic sweep and intellectual confidence'&nbsp;Gimba Kakanda, Co-Lead at the Presidential Initiative for Innovation, Policy Evaluation and Research

Much is known about what Europeans did in Africa, yet very little is known about Africa's history before its colonisation.&nbsp;

In this surprising exploration, Max Siollun uncovers societies that were not part of a backward 'Dark Continent', but which instead had rich lore to rival the ancient Greeks and Romans.

Pre-colonial West Africa had a mesmerising cast of revolutionaries, intellectuals, innovators, and villainous assassins. These include the family that overthrew three different 1000-year-old empires, the royal court official who engineered the death of four kings, and the young enslaved boy who became the first Black bishop in history, befriending Queen Victoria along the way.

This story of a dynamic and artistic people is a vital read for those who want to discover a forgotten era of West African history.

Max Siollun is a historian and author. He has written four acclaimed books on Nigeria's history, most recently What Britain Did to Nigeria: A Short History of Conquest and Rule, which was shortlisted in BBC History Magazine's 2021 Books of the Year. He has written for the New York Times, Guardian, Independent and Foreign Policy.

Nigeria Before British Rule

The Forgotten Era

Relationships in trade and investment between Europe, the United States, and sub-Saharan Africa have long been asymmetrical, marked by systemic overcharges, underpayments, and exploitative practices. This book highlights a concept called kleptomation: a systematic, sustained theft of labor, resources, and wealth. Chapters examine the depth, breadth, and persistence of this economic injustice, exploring the inauthentic accumulation of wealth on the part of the West over the course of several hundred years.In the book, economist Richard F.&nbsp;America&nbsp;proposes a unified framework for reparations to address centuries of wrongful enrichment, illicit transactions, and hidden subsidies that have fueled Western prosperity. This framework is clearly defined and grounded in redistributive economic justice. Acknowledging previous attempts to repair the damage caused by kleptomation, this book presents a 40-year plan that international development executives, policymakers, and program managers can use to scale up capital transfers for development programs in Africa.Drawing on historical analysis and contemporary policy debates, the book exposes flaws in international trade accounting that obscure the true scale of wealth extraction. It calls for sustained capital transfers and structural reforms to recover unjust enrichment and accelerate Africa’s development over the next four decades. The resulting resource provides practical guidance for policymakers, development practitioners, and global institutions—including the World Bank, the European Union, the African Union, and civil society—seeking to end chronic poverty and achieve broadly shared prosperity within 40 years.Richard F.&nbsp;America&nbsp;
 is Professor of Practice Emeritus in the&nbsp;McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. His research focuses on&nbsp;community reinvestment and investing in Africa. He is the author of numerous&nbsp;books and scholarly and professional articles. His seminal article, “What Do You
 
 People Want?” (Harvard Business Review, 1969), helped set the stage for the ongoing discussion of a form of reparations in the United States. His work in Africa has focused on improving management education, impact investing, and corporate philanthropy, strengthening African business schools, and expanding local and community-based economic development. He is the editor of

A Reparations Framework for International Development Policy and Finance

Restoring Africa’s Stolen Wealth

AVAILABLE TO PREORDER NOW: MICHAEL PALIN IN THE PHILIPPINES - COMING OCTOBER 2026.---------The extraordinary book from the bestselling author, a richly illustrated travel adventure across the African nation.Illustrated throughout with colour photographs taken on the trip, and brimming with wry humour and fascinating insights, this is a vivid and varied portrait of a complex country.--------- With his eightieth birthday looming, it crossed Michael Palin's mind that now might be the time to hang up his boots, to lounge about at home, to take things easy. Then the opportunity to visit Africa's most populous nation arose. A few weeks later, he was at Lagos airport, camera crew in town.In the journal he kept during his trip he gives a vivid account of the towns and cities he visited, the landscapes he travelled through, and the people he met: from vibrant but chaotic Lagos, to seemingly deserted streets of Nigeria's hyper-modern capital, Abuja, to the polluted oil fields of the Niger Delta. Michael Palin is welcomed as an honoured guest by a powerful emir and harangued by a passerby in Benin City. He hears the testimony of a kidnap victim of the terrorist group Boko Haram and experiences the collective spiritual ecstasy of one of Nigeria's mega churches.And throughout his trip, he experiences at first hand the contradictions of a country that has so much natural wealth and human talent and yet simultaneously grapples with corruption, religious strife and deep inequality._______Praise for Michael Palin:'I cannot remember the last time I read a book so immediately absorbing and affecting.' Bill Bryson, bestselling author of A Short History of Nearly Everything'Stirring' Daily Telegraph'Everybody's talking about it . . . A brilliant book.' Chris Evans, BBC Radio 2'Tremendous' Guardian'I absolutely loved it: I had to read it at one sitting.'
