African Voices on Development and Social Justice is an anthology of the 2004 editorials of Pambazuka News, an authoritative electronic weekly newsletter which is a platform for social justice in Africa providing cutting edge commentary and in- depth analysis on politics and current affairs, development, human rights, gender issues and culture in Africa. African Voices on Development and Social Justice provides an essential context of key developments and events in Africa in 2004, from the perspective of African activists and academics, perspectives that are neither complacent nor romantic about the conditions created by African governments, nor dismissive about the creative potential of Africa to determine its own future.
