silence on NGOs in Africa
In Breaking the Silence of NGOs in Africa, members of the Kenya Organic Intellectuals Network explore the role that NGO discourse and participation has had on contemporary struggles for radical change. Zachary Patterson writes that this timely book offers insights into how NGOs play a critical role in stifling the development and independence of radical African movements. Activists must proceed cautiously to avoid the risk of falling into a trap of Western rights discourse and liberal movement dynamics.
