Sobre IBD

By linking culture and tradition with socio-economic development, this book breaks new ground in the discourse on development. It highlights the differences between Euro-centric and African culture, where concepts such as capital accumulation, entrepreneurial attitudes and material wealth are not top priority. In doing so, it dispels popular myths, stereotypes and distortions, as well as discounting misleading accounts about major aspects of African culture and traditional practices.

  • Urban Planning and Public Health in Africa
    Ambe J. Njoh
    This book deviates from convention by suggesting non-financial factors as the source of sanitation problems on the continent of Africa, and argues the need to re-connect urban planning to public health.
