Critics Review
‘Dr Deegan’s volume provides a masterly account of the impact of the post 9⁄11 global environment on the African continent. Her analysis departs from more orthodox treatment in offering a thematic approach: hence a well researched and always relevant discussion of inter-alia, religion, development, democracy, gender and terrorism. This text will undoubtedly be invaluable to all who study Africa.’ - Professor J. Spence OBE, King’s College London
‘This is an informative and up-to-date analysis of Africa’s most important challenges. It covers the continent’s struggle to build democracy, promote economic development, combat major diseases, not the least HIV/AIDS, and deal with crimes and terrorist threats. Heather Deegan combines theoretical insights with a down-to-earth explanation of complex issues that makes this an ideal reader in many social sciences disciplines.’ - Goran Hyden Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Florida USA
