New African Thinkers:

Emerging scholars from across Africa focus on the multiple innovative ways through which Africa has been confronting challenges. The chapters cover peace and security including democracy and governance, gender and global change, development for the people, as well as science and technology.

The book grew out of the Ninth African Young Graduates and Scholars conference which is rooted in the pan-African perspective of an integrated, prosperous, and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens.
