Preface
This book is the outcome of a three-year research project (2017–2019), initiated by the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study (STIAS) under the leadership of Manuel Castells (a Permanent Visiting Fellow of STIAS) and Bernard Lategan (the Founding Director of STIAS).
STIAS promotes high-level, innovative and interdisciplinary research (for more details, see https://www.stias.ac.za). For this project, a group of twelve experts were invited to explore the contradictory dynamics of globalization and identity and how this interaction is reshaping Africa in the twenty-first century. The result is a highly original book offering insights with historical, social, political, conceptual and methodological implications.
