Here, fifteen chapters explore these themes in tandem. With essays that span the continent, this volume showcases the political histories, challenges, and promise of contemporary Africa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Written in honor of Crawford Young, a foundational figure in the study of African politics, the essays reflect the breadth and intellectual legacy of this towering scholar and illustrate the vast impact Young had, and continues to have, on the field. The book’s themes build from his seminal publications, and the essays were written by leading scholars who were trained by Young.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrologue\u003cbr\u003e Linda Thomas-Greenfield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction: The Legacies of Crawford Young\u003cbr\u003e Scott Straus and Aili Mari Tripp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart I.
