‘Adekeye Adebajo has put together an extraordinary collection of his essays, both scholarly and literary, true to the depth and breadth of his knowledge of African and international affairs. I have long been a great admirer of his scholarship and literary talents, which often brings to mind the combination I have always associated with another legendary scholar, Professor Ali Mazrui – an educator and an entertainer.’ Francis Deng, Former UN Special Representative on Internal Displacement, fFormer UN Senior Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide, and Former Visiting Professor at New York University, and Columbia and Yale Law Schools, United States ‘A masterful tapestry of writings from one of the foremost scholars of Africa’s international relations. This broad collection of essays offers astute and engaging reflections on the hopes, triumphs, and sorrows of the continent, blending sharp analysis and critique with genuine celebration of Africa’s talents, accomplishments, and ideals. Highly readable and deeply provocative, this is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to grasp Africa’s complexities and its evolving role in the world.’ Devon EA Curtis, Director of the Centre of African Studies, University of Cambridge, England ‘The modern world cannot be understood without acquiring knowledge of Africa and its diasporas. Adekeye Adebajo, one of Africa’s most gifted scholars, has done us a great favour by producing a book containing 145 essays illuminating Africa and its relationships with peoples throughout the world. Adebajo’s book is essential reading for those who dare to be citizens of the world.’ Aldon Morris, Professor Emeritus of Sociology & Black Studies, Northwestern University, United States ‘Adekeye Adebajo has indeed presented us with a splendid tapestry, bringing together three decades of reflections, analyses, insights, and commentary on diverse global issues related to Africa and its Diaspora which he terms “Global Africa”.’ Rhoda Reddock, Professor Emerita, The University of the West Indies, Jamaica ‘Adekeye Adebajo’s essays take us on a wondrous journey of Africa and its people. It is written with integrity, deep knowledge, compassion, and a wonderful turn of phrase. Adebajo must rank as one of the most iconic commentators on Africa and its place in the world. He is simultaneously brutally honest and wholeheartedly celebratory. It is a journey of love.’ Ahmed Bawa, former Vice-Chancellor of the Durban University of Technology, and Professor at the Johannesburg Business School, South Africa
