{"product_id":"9781431433919","title":"Global Africa: Profiles in Courage, Creativity, and Cruelty","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book of essays, written over the last three post-apartheid decades, offers unique profiles of 104 pan-African figures, drawn primarily from Africa’s 1.4 billion-strong population and its estimated 250 million-strong diaspora across the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean, alongside global Western figures engaging with African issues, assessed from an African perspective. Covering a diverse array of historical and political figures, technocrats, activists, writers, public intellectuals, musical and film artists, and sporting icons, the essays provide a multidisciplinary exploration of their significance while acknowledging the enduring legacies of slavery and colonialism. At the same time, the book captures the zeitgeist of the post-apartheid era, arguing that Africa’s liberation struggles were mirrored in the Caribbean and the American civil rights movement, with all three movements involving citizens of global Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Adekeye+Adebajo\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eAdekeye Adebajo\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Adekeye Adebajo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47382565748899,"sku":"9781431433919","price":420.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781431433919_d28a817e-1678-4c62-9c05-824f2afd03b2.jpg?v=1776536525","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781431433919","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
