Alternative Futures For Africa is written by Timothy M. Shaw and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0429696116 (ISBN 10) and 9780429696114 (ISBN 13).

This comprehensive, critical examination of Africa’s future–written by a diverse group of Africans and Africanists–raises many questions and challenges concerning the development and unity of the African continent. Eclectic in range and method, but cohesive in concern, the book identifies and analyzes alternative probabilities in the political, economic, and social spheres and on the national, regional, and international levels. Many of the contributors point toward an unpromising future for Africa unless its development strategy is changed and its inheritance of dependence on the world system overcome.
