The HISOFE Dictionary of Midnight Politics

Description

Building on Fossungu�s earlier works, and essentially providing Africa with original, critical, and multi-level analyses of the trio of globalization, democracy, and national determination, this book theorizes that African states have to unite in order to have any impact in the global economy.

The questions of the book are many but do all boil down to whether or not Africans fear the truth and do not therefore do politics.

THE HISOFE DICTIONARY OF MIDNIGHT POLITICS
Peter Ateh-Afac Fossungu
Expibasketical Theories on Afrikentication and African Unity
Building on Fossungu’s earlier works, and essentially providing
Africa with original, critical, and multi-level analyses of the trio of
globalization, democracy, and national determination, this book
theorizes that African states have to unite in order to have any
impact in the global economy. Using the failure of the Cameroon
Goodwill Association of Montreal (CGAM) as a case study, the book THE HISOFE
urges Africans to make hard choices and avoid politickerization and
midnight politics in favour of fossungupalogy (that is, the science
of straightforwardness, necessitating the fearless looking at truth
straight in the eye). The questions of the book are many but do all boil
down to whether or not Africans fear the truth and do not therefore DICTIONARY:
do politics. It is amazing that Africans in the West live in societies
where fi erce political competitors do embrace each other after one has
defeated the other; but they are incapable of looking their so-called
friends in the eye and saying, for example: “Man, I think you’ve totally EXPIBASKETICAL THEORIES ONgotten it wrong this time.” Such comportment defi nes politickerization
or negative competition. While attempting some possible responses
to the numerous queries it raises, this book basically proffers the
science of Four-Eyesism as a discipline that all African schools
need to institute and make a compulsory subject: if the vandalized
continent would have to be awakened to its realities. This book is rich
in Fossungu’s dazzling capacity to invent, defi ne and use a multitude
of new terminological constructs informed by African experiences.
