Re-thinking values Africa: : for collective wellbeing

This book explores Africa's development challenges in light of past and contemporary values. It then discusses how Africa can develop new value systems based on African traditional philosophies, religious and contemporary thinking to foster collective wellbeing. The book argues that Africa's development failures cannot be blamed on the West but rather on internal political and social failures that can be traced to values. It provides alternative arguments for Africa's current state and proposes that cultivating new values based on traditional African philosophies such as Ubuntu could lead to a new beginning and build new foundations for enhancing collective wellbeing.
