Friends and colleagues, I wanted to announce to you that my edited volume, Entrepreneurship in Africa: A Historical Approach, has been published by Indiana University Press. In addition to yours truly, three other members of this list have chapters in the book--Gloria Chuku, Gloria Emeagwali, and Chambi Chachage. Please order your copies from amazon, Barnes and Noble, other online bookstores, or directly from the website of Indiana University Press. Thanks for the support. Below is a book description and a blurb written by Professor Adebayo Oyebade. I also include the book cover.

A tapestry of innovation, ideas, and commerce, Africa and its entrepreneurial hubs are deeply connected to those of the past. Moses E. Ochonu and an international group of contributors explore the lived experiences of African innovators who have created value for themselves and their communities. Profiles of vendors, farmers, craftspeople, healers, spiritual consultants, warriors, musicians, technological innovators, political mobilizers, and laborers featured in this volume show African models of entrepreneurship in action. As a whole, the essays consider the history of entrepreneurship in Africa, illustrating its multiple origins and showing how it differs from the Western capitalist experience. As they establish historical patterns of business creativity, these explorations open new avenues for understanding indigenous enterprise and homegrown commerce and their relationship to social, economic, and political debates in Africa today.

An authentic, Africa-centered volume on entrepreneurship and a fresh departure from stale discussions of African economies that have often been carved from Western modes of explanation that trivialize African historical experiences and realities. (Adebayo Oyebade, author of Hot Spot: Sub-Saharan Africa)
