African Issues is a ground-breaking series that has opened up debate on many of the critical issues facing the continent. We are looking for the following:
- Short books that explore responses to the crisis in African development
- Brisk books which push forward important debates
- Engaged books which express strong opinions
- Informed books which use local reality to enlighten continent-wide issues
- Demanding books by leading social scientists which focus on complex political emergencies and social issues as they happen
- Contentious books to get students arguing
- Books of academic rigour which are relevant to African and international policy makers and development practitioners
- Books which tackle the pressing issues, such as:
- famine, refugees and other ‘disasters’
- social and political causes of environmental problems
- land and water issues
- the benefits of informal economies
- the pressures on urban and rural environments
- the role of NGOs and international organizations
- the social consequences of armed conflict
- the processes of local politics and 'civil society'
- gender debates
- the impact of globalization
