Review
"In this inspiring and richly textured book, the author skillfully
and critically traces the intellectual origins of Thabo Mbeki's notion
of the 'African Renaissance.' Its domestic articulations and continental
expressions are analysed with philosophical and normative commitment
rarely found in other reflections on the subject. This book thus
constitutes a welcome and refreshing appraisal and is an elegant
contribution to the changing discourse on Africa."
