The Next Africa (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Jake Bright | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

When most Americans think of Africa, what leaps to mind is a long list of problems: genocide, civil strife, corruption, exploitation, AIDS, famine, poverty, disease, displacement and many more.  It is a bleak and discouraging image, one that has persisted for generations.  This book aims to change it for good. 
 
A paradigm-shifting guide to the events, trends, and people reshaping African countries and their relationship to the world, The African Miracle persuasively argues that, throughout the coming decades, the magnitude of Africa’s business developments will intersect with other global trends and permanently transform the continent.  Having spent years on the ground researching and reporting on African business, Jake Bright and Aubrey Hruby are ideally positioned to give readers the inside story on what has recently become headline-grabbing news.  So too do they understand that Africa is not one nation, nor is it populated by one people, and their nuanced account is sensitive to the many challenges still facing the continent.
 
From global investment seminars to corporate boardrooms, from Hollywood studios to Italian runways, the excitement surrounding Africa has grown from the isolated murmurs of think-tank economists to a roar of opportunity the world can no longer ignore.  Packed with anecdotal, statistical and cultural analysis, The African Miracle is the perfect resource for those seeking an informed entry point to this exciting and extremely relevant conversation.
