The African Soul is a profound reflection on the African people’s possibilities, the unfortunates, and psychology. You will discover the two prominent narratives of Africa; the Afro-pessimist who sees Africa in its unfortunates. The second narrative is that of the Afro-optimist who sees Africa in the light of what is possible. The book describes a third and emerging narrative; the Afro-realist. The Afro-realists see and acknowledge both narratives and employ a Holistic Initiative Partnership (HIP) to find solutions to Africa’s problems.
This reflection gives five critical areas that point out the failure of the Africans, it explores the fundamental causes and shows what can be done to ensure that Africa recovers.
Any African living in the diaspora will find this book a great read, it shows a possible partnership between Africa and the diaspora that can bring wealth and growth to Africa.
Finally, the reflection concludes with an insight into what has caused most discussions about Africa’s development to prove fruitless. The conclusion clearly echoes the need for Africans to move from the discussion table and embrace the solution table.
