Summary:
After 30 years of projects, aid disbursement, technical assistance, and conditionality, this book maps out the extent to which African states have cleaved to neoliberal directives. It suggests that neoliberal 'progress' in Africa is notably limited in spite of the resources behind it and the lack of alternatives to it.

Neoliberalism in Africa, neoliberalism and Africa
Neoliberalism in Africa : a failed ideology
Practices of neoliberalism : repertoires, habits and conduct
