5.0 out of 5 stars
Mazrui, the Universal African,
By Carol Miller (Mexico D.F.Mexico, Dele. Alvaro Obregon Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The African Condition: A Political Diagnosis (Paperback)
Many cosmopolitan Africans are qualified to describe or analyze Africa's various blights, but few are as articulate, as insightful and charming, and as exquisitely educated as Mazrui. He is irreverent without being cynical, he assigns blame and assumes it, and at the same time he campaigns for a sign of justice in a world rampant with ravenous greed and heartless corruption, within the framework of a leadership gap. No part of the world has suffered so much from this as the African continent, so diverse it suffers in a variety of ways, and so stricken its ills may never be overcome. Yet here we have a voice in Mazrui, a universal voice, that can speak to the West in the lexicon of the West.

4.0 out of 5 stars
the african condition,
By eddie l kornegay, jr (chicago, illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The African Condition: A Political Diagnosis (Paperback)
This book gives great insight into the connection between the blight of present day sub-saharan Africa and the colonial conquests of european powers on her soil. Mazrui reveals the heart of a living socio-political paradox that has affected the progress of African interdependence and unity revealing the weaknesses this fractured continent faces in the wake of globalization and her push to find justice for her people in a modern world. Riveting reading for the expansion of one's world view and a true understanding of what is at the heart of the African condition!
