"The Routledge Handbook of African Political Philosophy showcases and develops the arguments propounded by African philosophers on political problems, bringing together experts from around the world to chart current and future research trends. Africa's recent history has been shaped by the experiences of colonization, anti-colonial struggle, and postcolonial self-rule, and so it is perhaps not surprising that political questions are also central to African philosophy. This exciting new handbook provides insights on the foundations, virtues, vices, controversies, and key topics to be found within African political philosophy, concluding by considering how it connects with other traditions of political philosophy. In doing so, the book provides important fresh perspectives which help us to a richer understanding of the challenges of co-existence in society and governance not just in Africa, but around the world. This book will be an important resource for researchers and students across the fields of Political Philosophy, Political Science, International Relations, and African Studies"-- Provided by publisher.
