Comparative Assessment of Social Issues in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean

Despite their differences and complexities, this book tackles the massive undertaking of comparing social issues in Latin American, Caribbean, and African regions. The editors are commended for carefully selecting scholars and topics. The work will be a stimulant for expanded discussion and debates but certainly a catalyst for future research. -- Leon C. Wilson, Tougaloo College
This expert collection is a welcome comparative investigation into complex issues facing three of the most oppressed and exploited regions in the world. At the juncture of challenge and change, Comparative Assessment of Social Issues in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean bolsters the re-legitimization of Indigenous Knowledge Systems as part of a fundamental answer to hegemonic globalization and points toward multipolar, multicivilizational alternatives. -- Kimani S.
