Product Information

Population growth, business interests, and global connections are transforming Africa from a "lost" continent to one of "strategic opportunity" in the worldwide geopolitical sphere. A timely synthesis of current thinking on this diverse, complex, and changing region, Africa: Geographies of Change offers students the most realistic portrait of modern Africa available. Integrating material on China in Africa, the mobile-phone revolution, the Millennium Development Goals, sustainable development, "land and water grabs," food security, informal livelihoods, the "Green Revolution," and new satellite cities, this text adopts a realistically optimistic narrative that focuses on Africa's burgeoning cities. By using case studies to highlight important topics, Africa: Geographies of Change incorporates new perspectives from urban studies, public health, political geography, and sustainable development in order to provide a more nuanced understanding of African issues. Features *Integrated cutting-edge topics--such as China in Africa, the mobile-phone revolution, sustainable development, informal livelihoods, and food security--keep the text relevant and thought-provoking *Emphasis on contemporary Africa motivates students to consider alternative and more positive possibilities for African development *Historical knowledge underpins the assessment of contemporary issues and helps students to envision future development and policy outcomes *Uniquely African perspectives enhance each chapter *Carefully selected sidebars and case studies vividly illustrate the topics being discussed

Reviews
"'Africa Rising' is the watchword of the moment for the continent. Richard Grant's excellent new text explodes all of the old clichés about the African crisis and digs deep into contemporary realities: the urban transformation, the mobile phone revolution, the new scramble for resources, the growing presence of Chinese, Brazilian, Indian and South African capital, the contours of the land grab, new patterns of continental and global labor mobility, andnot least the deepening challenges of water scarcity and global climate change. In short, Grant offers a new reframing and a new set of representations of Africa without obscuring the political and economicfailures that continue to afflict parts of sub Saharan Africa. An exemplary undergraduate textbook."--Michael Watts, University of California, Berkeley"Richard Grant is onto something important by developing a text that emphasizes the contemporary and future eras more than most books do. It is a new approach, and this is an era where new approaches are needed to engage students. There is still classic geography here, but set within the context of a vibrant, ever-changing continent that is ripe for a do-over for textbooks in the discipline."--Garth A. Myers, Trinity College"I highly recommend this book to my colleagues teaching any course on Africa. The topics are well laid out and the flow among the themes is clear."--Raymond Asomani-Boateng, Minnesota State University, Mankato
