| Zusammenfassung: | The outcomes of globalization are neither smooth nor unilinear; rather, they are dialectical, multifaceted, uneven, and sometimes chaotic, pointing in several different directions at once. Neoliberalism and Globalization in Africa examines Africa's involvement in neoliberal globalization, and highlights the socioeconomic and cultural costs of the grossly unbalanced structure of global wealth and power between Africa and the rest of the world. The narratives in the book pay special attention to contestations-both discursively and in practice. And with the emphasis on contestation, readers will come to appreciate the tactics and maneuvers deployed by African social resistance movements to interrogate and confront contemporary neoliberal globalization. |

The outcomes of globalization are neither smooth nor unilinear; rather, they are
dialectical, multifaceted, uneven, and sometimes chaotic, pointing in several differ¬
ent directions at once.
Neoliberalism
and Globalization in Africa examines Africa s
involvement in
neoliberal
globalization, and highlights the socioeconomic and cul¬
tural costs of the grossly unbalanced structure of global wealth and power between
Africa and the rest of the world. The narratives in the book pay special attention
to contestations
—
both discursively and in practice. And with the emphasis on
contestation, readers will come to appreciate the tactics and maneuvers deployed
by African social resistance movements to interrogate and confront contemporary
neoliberal
globalization.
Joseph Mensah is Associate Professor of Geography and the Coordinator or
International Development Studies at York University in Toronto, Canada. He is
the author of Black Canadians: History, Experience, Social Conditions
(2002);
co-
editor of Globalization and the Human Factor: Critical Insights
(2004);
and the edi¬
tor of Understanding Economic Reforms in Africa: A Tale of Seven Nations
(2006).
