Social-scientific perspectives on Africa. Festschrift for Manfred Schulz
These contributions contradict dominating descriptions of Africa´s present situation as lacking a positive perspective. They criticize the (Western) double standard of distinguishing between the deserving and undeserving poor, or making ´tribalism´ and lacking modernization responsible for economic misery or civil wars, and explicit or implicit racist attitudes.

Keywords: Schulz, M., women´s work in Sudan, industry in Africa, coast management, clientelism, democracy in Africa, Mamdani, M., Marx, K., racism, capitalism, Apartheid, globalization, development
