Reviews
'A work of genius with high reflective ambience, originality and vision, requiring a major restructuring of our epistemological armament. A must read for intellectuals of all descents seeking to achieve multicultural reach through transcultural disciplinary approach.' - Prof. G.O Ozumba, Centre for Integrative Humanism, University of Calabar, Nigeria 'Anselm Adodo proposes communitalism as an indigenous, sustainable and integral approach to tackling the developmental challenges of contemporary Africa. This book documents a personal and community journey, but it's relevance is universal.' - Dr. Edward Paice, Director, Africa Research Institute, London, UK 'Communitalism is based on the premise that all humans, communities and nations must seek solutions to their problems from within. Adodo demonstrates this by the successful experiments conducted in a rural community in Nigeria. The key strength of communitalism is that it can be replicated anywhere. Africa is in dire need of such a theory originating from Africa.' - Prof. Ohioma Pogoson, Director, Institute of African Studies, University of Ibadan, Nigeria 'In modern times we are looking for an integral vision of our world and the human being after the unity has fallen apart: East and West, North and South, individual and community, science and spirituality and economics. Father Anselm Adodo, known for his research in traditional herbal medicine, is presenting a new integral vision, the theory of Communitalism. This is true African Wisdom, enriching the other cultures of this globe.' - Notker Wolf, O.S.B., Abbot Primate of the Benedictine Order, Rome, Italy 'An intellectually brilliant and elegantly argued theory for all who wish to understand Africa and its stunted economic growth and development. Adodo presents refreshing and home-grown pathways to holistic development in Africa.' - Samuel Etatuvie, Director-General, Nigeria Natural Medicine Development Agency, Nigeria 'A profoundly new approach to development in Africa: a must read for anyone concerned with authentic development around the world. A book that is positioned at the very core of a much needed African Renaissance.' - Prof. Alexander Schieffer, Co-founder, Trans4m Centre for Integral Development, Geneva, Switzerland 'Anselm Adodo goes to the heart of the matter - resilient societies build on resilient communities. Resilient communities allow individuals to flourish and bring out their full creativity. If we are to move from collective stupidity to collective wisdom, we need to listen to the wisdom of those who care. This is a book not just for Africa, but for the world.' - Kosha Anja Joubert, CEO Global Ecovillage Network
