PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Jacqueline A. Ignatova is an Assistant Professor of Sustainable Development at Appalachian State University in North Carolina, USA. She is vice chair of the board of F.A.R.M. (Feed All Regardless of Means) Cafe and a co-founder of the Watauga Seed Library in Boone, North Carolina. Her work has been featured in Third World Quarterly and African and Black Diaspora: An International Journal.
Ignatova's important book illuminates profound problems with public-private partnerships that skirt democratic accountability and empower wealthy interests at the expense of local communities. But it's not a despairing account: she centres Ghanaian activists and policy-makers who are pioneering a new type of philanthropy, one emphasizing interdependency and social justice over anti-democratic efforts to privatize seed commons. A revelatory and insightful study. --Professor Linsey McGoey, University of Essex, UK Like a combine through a field of genetically modified maize, Jacqueline Ignatova cuts through the rhetoric surrounding the 'Green Revolution for Africa' to reveal the underlying power, politics and inequities that shape agricultural development in contemporary Ghana. Full of rich empirics and analytical insights, this book is essential reading for those seeking a comprehensive understanding of how public-private partnerships and philanthropy-driven initiatives are reshaping smallholder agriculture across the African continent. --Marcus Taylor, Associate Professor & Head of Department, Global Development Studies, Queen's University, Canada
