Visions of the Future of Africa - Book Project
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Young, dynamic, and talented Africans who are 40 years of age or under are
invited to contribute papers to a proposed book tentatively entitled
"Visions of the Future of Africa". Each contribution should be from the
personal perspective of the author. Although contributing authors can
examine additional issues which they deem to be important for the future of
Africa, each author should at the least explore the following questions in
their essay:
What do you think about the future? What are your visions, hopes, fears,
ambitions, and goals for the future? What are your perceptions about the
trends that will shape the world, your region, nation, and societies?
Which of these trends would you like to encourage and which ones would you
like to discourage? How do you see the future of the world, the African
continent, your nation, and your community? What type of an Africa would
you like to live in? How can your vision of the future be attained? What
role do you see yourself playing not only in your country but in the world
of the future?
Authors should have in mind a time frame of about 30 years into the future.
That is, the year 2026 should be the focus. Authors should limit their
contributions to 4000 words. Although the deadline for submission of
manuscripts is 30 December 1996, sending a paper early will allow more time
for its consideration. Authors whose articles are selected for inclusion
in the book will be paid an honorarium of US$500.
Please distribute this information to anyone you feel might be interested
or should participate in this book project. If you would like to nominate
someone or yourself to contribute an article to be considered for inclusion
in the book, please provide the following information (Name, Profession &
Job Title, Nationality, Sex, Address, Telephone #, Fax #, and Email) on
each of your nominees. We will need this information as soon as possible
so that we can send you and other nominees the book proposal and
guidelines for contribution.
Direct inquiries to Olugbenga Adesida and Arunma Oteh.
