Publisher's Synopsis
An overview of the mushrooming movements for a new humanism rising in the wake of the Second Liberation of Africa. The central problem for these groups, as articulated by Steven Biko, is that of investigating how the challenge to hegemony can be linked to a quest for a true humanity'. Collected essays explore how new movements may not only challenge neo-liberal capitalist globalisation but articulate viable alternatives that raise the question of what it means to be human in the changing world.'
