About
Summary
Across Africa, independence was celebrated with flags, songs, and speeches promising liberty. Yet decades later, many nations find that political freedom alone cannot overcome poverty, corruption, and dependency. Independence and Its Unfinished Promise examines the complex journey from colonial rule to true sovereignty, exploring the challenges of governance, economic inequality, and foreign influence, while highlighting the resilience, innovation, and activism of African people. This book argues that freedom is not a moment but a process—one that must be lived daily by ordinary citizens to transform the promise of independence into prosperity, dignity, and hope for all.Book information
