The African Intelligentsia: Domestic Decline and Global Ascent

By Ali Alamin Mazrui

This book explores the multi-faceted effects of globalisation - both positive and negative - on both Africans living in Africa and on the global African diaspora. One of the themes covered is the so-called African Brain Drain (ABD) - wherein highly intelligent and qualified Africans are wont to leave the African continent. In a rare move, the authors also acknowledge the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on ABD.
