In the Embrace of Fear: Fear As a Determinant Factor of Under-development in Sub-sahara Africa Abimbola Lagunju

For centuries, Africa has lived with fear and has, at a great cost adapted itself to its vagaries. The challenges of the modern world have not only made this approach redundant but very dangerous to the continued survival of Black Africa. Survival can no longer be taken as a given. Africa must struggle for it. This struggle entails concerted efforts to move away from basic existence to sustainable quality of life. Africa must rise up to this challenge. The cost of ineptitude in the face of fear is dispersion and extinction. In the Embrace of Fear seeks to demystify Black African manacling fear through a frank non-narcissistic self-examination.
