Introduction to the study of poverty issues in Africa

The book explores the multifaceted nature of poverty, particularly focusing on sub-Saharan Africa, where perceptions and definitions vary widely. It contrasts the bitter experience of poverty for those lacking basic needs like literacy and healthcare with the perspective of industrialists who may view it as a beneficial tool for economic gain. Additionally, it critiques the role of poverty as a mechanism of domination, suggesting that it perpetuates an inferiority complex among marginalized communities and supports white supremacy theories.
