Overview
Challenges the dominant and hegemonic notion that Africa is peripheral, exceptionally outside world politics, and marginal
Offers a theoretically and empirically rich analysis by bringing together a number of scholars from various locations and disciplinary backgrounds
Constitutes an elegant epistemological critique of IR and how it relates to Africa, painting a complex picture of the dynamics of world politics, the larger structures within which it is produced, and Africa’s place in it
