Bridging African Boundaries: Four Reviews of Professor Asiwaju’s Compendium
Abstract
Last October, a box arrived at the office of Borders in Globalization Research Laboratory containing the nearly 1,000-page tome, Bridging African Boundaries: Cross-Border Areas and Regional Integration in Comparative History and Policy Advocacy, by Professor Emeritus Anthony I. Asiwaju (Pan-African University Press, 2021). The book is a compendium of three seminal works by the author, representing a lifetime of labor and outstanding achievement. BIG_Review invited border scholars to provide short and to-the-point commentaries on this important publication, and we are pleased to share the following four reviews.
