About This Book

This book examines the intersection between cultural identities and development in African and the Diaspora from multidisciplinary perspectives.

Starting with the premise that culture is one of the most significant factors in development, the book examines diverse topics such as the migrations of musical forms, social media, bilingualism and religion. Foregrounding the work of Africa based scholars, the book presents strategies for identifying solutions to the challenges facing African culture and development.

This book will be of interest to students and scholars of African Studies and African Culture and Society.
