✦ Synopsis

sum up predominant political, economic and intellectual trends. Despite their significant differences in approach and ideology, the prevailing tone is wariness: few grand theories of how Africa can, should or will develop have survived the last 25 years in credible form. This moment may provide a great opportunity: while Western intellectuals are baffled, perhaps Africans may pick up the ball and run for real self-reliance.
