| book description |
The universal quest for peace, safety, and security aptly captured in The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, approved by all United Nations Member States in 2015, serves as a collective outline for peace and prosperity for all citizens globally. Equally entrenched in the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals is Goal 16, which promotes Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. Yet the pursuit of Goal 16 is inadvertently hampered by social, economic, and political power struggles in the era of neoliberal globalisation. These struggles are experienced on a global scale but evidentially concentrated in Africa. This book, mainly based on empirical data, provides fascinating insights into the situation in Africa. The insights related to intra-national conflicts, civil strife, and peacekeeping initiatives, as well as explanations for gender-based violence, xenophobia, food security, cyber security, student insecurities, and hostel violence. The insights captured in individual chapters are primarily from early career academics, supported by more seasoned peers and colleagues. The trajectory in the culmination of this publication lasted almost painstakingly fruitful 24 months. The data and analyses presented in each chapter are nuanced but embrace the golden thread of Peace and Security in Africa. The fascination with the book is further enriched by the individual lenses through which each narrative is captured. The vastness of topics introduces fresh insights and perspectives to the orthodox understanding of Peace and Security.

This first comprehensive biography of Cecil Rhodes in a generation illuminates Rhodes’s vision for the expansion of imperialism in southern Africa, connecting politics and industry to internal development, and examines how this fueled a lasting, white-dominated colonial society.
