Book Description

Lifemaking offers a fresh frame for analyzing contemporary African politics and imagining its future. Rooted in the indigenous political philosophy of lifemaking of the Kalabari-Ijo people of the Niger Delta, this work is a counterpoint to the necropolitics that dominates African political practice. For practitioners and analysts for whom Africans and their polities are caught in the TINA (There Is No Alteative) syndrome, this book offers inspiration for an alteative to the current necropolitics. Because the book’s thesis is an unreserved celebration of lifemaking, it identifies collective human flourishing as essential to politics.
