Abstract

Is de ontwikkeling van het kapitalisme een zegen of een vloek voor Afrikaanse vrouwen? Is er een verband tussen kapitalisme en patriarchaat of staan de twee volledig los van elkaar? Veel feministen evalueren het kapitalisme als uitgesproken negatief: kapitalisme genereert ongelijkheid, tussen klassen, tussen rassen maar ook tussen seksen. De auteur van dit boek is het niet eens met de stelling, deels ook uit pragmatische overwegingen, want of men dat nu wil of niet: het kapitalisme is ook voor Afrika de onontkoombare toekomst. Aan de hand van feministische theorieën, politieke economie en literatuur uit de wereld van gender en development toont de auteur aan dat er in een kapitalistische toekomst voor Afrika onverhoopt veel mogelijkheden voor vrouwen verscholen liggen.

Abstract

Can Africa develop businesses beyond the extractive or agricultural sectors? What would it take for Africa to play a major role in global business? By focusing on recent changes, Scott D. Taylor demonstrates how Africa's business culture is marked by an unprecedented receptivity to private enterprise. Challenging persistent stereotypes about crony capitalism and the lack of development, Taylor reveals a long and dynamic history of business in Africa. He shows how a hospitable climate for business has been spurred by institutional change, globalization, and political and economic reform.

Abstract

This book is a fascinating exploration of public opinion in sub-Saharan Africa. Based on the Afrobarometer, a comprehensive cross-national survey research project, it reveals what ordinary Africans think about democracy and market reform, subjects on which almost nothing is otherwise known. The authors find that support for democracy in Africa is wide but shallow and that Africans feel trapped between state and market. Beyond multiparty elections, people want clean and accountable government. They will accept economic structural adjustment only if it is accompanied by an effective state, the availability of jobs, and an equitable society. What are the origins of these attitudes? Far from being constrained by social structure and cultural values, Africans learn about reform on the basis of knowledge, reasoning, and experience. Weighing supply and demand for reform, the authors reach cautious conclusions about the varying prospects of African countries for attaining fully-fledged democracy and markets.0
