  • Raises key insights regarding the structural challenges facing Africa even in the context of the continent’s recent economic growth spurt
  • Combines perspectives from economic and development geography and science and technology studies to demonstrate the power of integrated conceptual-theoretical frameworks
  • Include maps, photos, diagrams and tables to highlight the concepts, field research settings, and key findings
