<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Africans need an African voice to tell our African stories and deliver them to the world the way we intended--with our essence, traditions, experiences, and thoughts intact. David Monyae is such a voice. A committed anticolonialist and internationalist, Monyae offers insight into the complex and challenging terrain of African international relations. He is acutely aware of the history of the great powers' exploitation of Africa. He is steeped in how states and inter-state organisations and their leaders have struggled for their self-interest and, occasionally, that of the public throughout the continent. Monyae's expertise lies in understanding the ways that realpolitik shapes our world. He recognises the common humanity of our frail and fallible species. He aspires to improve the lot of the voiceless in world affairs by seeking to improve the quality of the policies and strategies of the continent's and the world's most powerful through his commentary. This anthology is a guide through global politics from the unique vantage point of the individuals and communities that those politics affect.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>David Monyae is an international relations and foreign policy expert with a Ph.D. in International Relations from the University of Witwatersrand.
