the best book on globalization and africa, i believe, is james ferguson's Global Shadows.
it is a terrific book.
a second recommendation is pius adesanmi's You're Not a Country , AFrica. it might not serve your purposes entirely since a fair amount is also centered in the diaspora, and its more as memoirs or personal essays that social science analysis, but in truth it does deal, with insight and wit and style, precisely with the contours of our globalized world and social entities in africa and in the diaspora. if you include africa in the diaspora, which i think is fair, then it fits even better for you.
i would also consider manthia diawara's memoir, In Search of Africa; andhis films even more, In Search of Africa, Bamako Sidi Kan

--Folks,
I am looking for (1) books on globalization and social change in Africa, and (2) recent books on historical methods related to African history. I intend to use such books for upper level undergraduate courses, and would greatly appreciate suggestions and leads from all, especially those who have taught similar courses. Thanks.
