More than five decades after the independence of most African states, the controversy continues. Optimists swear by Africa as a continent of the future, pointing to high economic growth and progress in democratization. Pessimists insist on the persistence of post-colonial, commodity-dependent structures, growing inequality and corruption. The authors, who lived for many years in various countries in Africa, have always followed conditions with commitment, and in 2015 they returned to Zambia, one of their former places of work. They explored what has changed there in concrete terms and what has remained. The picture that emerges is diverse, sometimes contradictory, sometimes sobering, predominantly confident, often humorous; in any case, a lively, also self-critically reflective testimony from the African rural province. It is a picture of the dynamics and discourses in very “normal” Africa beyond the striking crisis reports. Readers learn a great deal about the concrete lives of the various actors on the ground. Along the way, they gain a deep, critically analyzing and – in view of current debates about A World Without Hunger and Jobs for Africa – astonishingly up-to-date insight into development policy practice.
