Recenzii

Given that too high a percentage of scholarly work on sub-Saharan Africa is produced by non-Africans, the editors of [this book] should be lauded because nearly all the authors are African ... [The book] provide[s] a useful raid on what was largely unarticulated and so help[s] to fill a gap in the scholarly literature.
Education in West Africa is essential reading for anyone concerned about providing all children with quality education. Every researcher working on West Africa will give a vote of thanks for such an invaluable resource. The wealth of essential information about the history of eighteen educational systems is complemented by insightful analyses of how colonial and postcolonial politics shaped their national agendas and their abilities to meet contemporary global development goals. The voices from these countries deserve to be heard.
This is a timely, well-crafted book that comprehensively responds to an urgent need of new ideas and perspectives in the educational terrain in West Africa. Emefa Takyi-Amoako brings together an impressive lineup of both seasoned and emerging scholars who produce a seminal work that achieves a unique regional focus in educational studies. It has the potential to become the main reference work for some time to come and should immediately serve both the research and policy analysis interests of specialized scholars, students, public sector managers and the general public.
This excellent book uses a multidisciplinary approach and multi-dimensional methodologies to assess the challenges of education in West Africa within the context of globalization. It suggests practical and valuable action-oriented strategies for investing in Africa's future generation, regardless of gender.
This collection of rigorously researched and well-presented papers on the dynamics of educational development in West Africa provides adequate lessons from hindsight (what the countries studied did or failed to do), as well as insight (the complex nature of current challenges) and foresight (future directions) for education in the sub-region. In addition to being a rich mine of information the book is more importantly a methodological guide for the study of a subject that lies at the very heart of sustainable human development. These are the characteristics that make it a resource gold mine for a variety of users - teachers and students, development-oriented researchers, development partners and policy-makers. A yawning gulf has in fact been filled in needed tools for study-research-teaching and forward-looking work on educational development in the targeted sub-region and elsewhere.
