      abstract = {This handbook fills a large gap in the current knowledge  about the critical role of Africa in the changing global  order. By connecting the past, present, and future in a  continuum that shows the paradox of existence for over one  billion people, the book underlines the centrality of the  African continent to global knowledge production, the  global economy, global security, and global creativity.  Bringing together perspectives from top Africa scholars, it  actively dispels myths of the continent as just a passive  recipient of external influences, presenting instead an  image of an active global agent that astutely projects soft  power. Unlike previous handbooks, this book offers an  eclectic mix of historical, contemporary, and  interdisciplinary approaches that allow for a more holistic  view of the many aspects of Africas relations with the  world.
