In this book, Munyaradzi Felix Murove explores African traditional ethical resources for African politics. Arguing that African ethics is integral to African post-colonial political contentious discourse, Murove invites the reader to reflect on various problematic political issues in post-colonial Africa and how African ethics has been applied in these situations. Starting with a succinct discussion of the scope of African ethics, he discusses how African ethical values have been applied by post-colonial politicians in the reconstruction of their societies. Further, Murove looks critically at the issue of African poverty and how the ethic of regional integration and economic cooperation among post-colonial African nation-states has been instrumental to efforts aimed at overcoming the scourge of poverty. The main question this book seeks to answer is: Are African traditional ethical values a panacea to modern African political problems?

Reviews for African Politics and Ethics: Exploring New Dimensions

“In this book, the author makes interesting revelations about ethics and the politics of ethnicity in Africa. … Importantly, this book tackles the issue of traditional leadership and the land question in Africa. … Murove’s book is a wonderful contribution to the discourse of politics and ethics in Africa … . The author’s vast and critical reading of secondary sources makes this work one of the best reads on the subject.” (Alex Amaechi Ugwuja, Africa Review, Vol. 14 (4), November, 2022)
