New African Thinkers:

Culture at the Heart of Sustainable Development

In New African Thinkers, young scholars from across Africa discuss their vision for the social, political, and economic future of their continent. A unifying element running throughout their work is the argument that culture—defined broadly as a way of life, system of values and controls, and modes of practice and expression—lies at the heart of a reimagined Africa: a place of prosperity and socioeconomic well-being, integration, and self-determination.

The book grew out of the Tenth African Young Graduates and Scholars conference, the theme of which was the African Union's Agenda 2063.
