Long description:
This book considers the importance of African values, not only in catalysing development, but in sustaining it. Arguing for an urgent need for rapprochement between African politicians and intellectuals, the book discusses how African values and identities can contribute to the successful realization of initiatives such as the sustainable development goals, and the African Union?s Agenda 2063.

Over the course of the book, the authors consider key themes such as identity, indigenous and modern worldviews; personhood; individual and communal perspectives; peace and conflict; and health. The book explores the role of religion and moral values, as well as African worldviews such as Ubuntu. Overall, the book demonstrates that African values will be central to galvanising Africa?s post-colonial transformation.

This book will be an important read for policymakers, and for researchers working on African development, politics, sociology, religion, and philosophy.
