Answer to Question #237014 in Political Science for December

Question

Evaluate the argument by J. O Arowosegbe (2016) that the underdevelopment crisis in Africa emanate from a more fundamental crisis of ideas. Please provide questions for the statement only so I can tackle the essay.

Answer 1

While imperialism left behind certain types of heterogeneity and mimicking, J. O Arowosegbe (2016) claims that the need to liberate and be rid of the coloniser's power in whatever way feasible was central to all anti-colonial discourse after World war ii. However, the new nations' postcolonial policies in the mid-twentieth century stressed modernity without inquiry. Growth was a catch-up activity with the West, conducted with technology and scientific development instruments.
