Generally, many African countries have survived from the beginning by adopting socialism as their ideology across every stratum of human existence. That particular orientation has therefore necessitated the creation of values in nearly all areas especially their politics and economic engagements.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe implication is that the socialist approach to critical aspects of human endeavors such as education has introduced a model of development that in some way encourages a laissez-faire attitude of people toward the things that would bring them to maximize innate potential and power they have. The book utilizes updated methodologies in the gathering of data for the enhancement of quality intellection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToyin Falola, PhD, is the Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities and University Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Texas at Austin, and most recently, the Kluge Chair of the Countries and Culture of the South, the Library of Congress in Washington D.C.
