Abstract:
The Green Book is intended to equip young African scholars with guidance
for their thesis study, and to prepare them for the leadership roles that
will be expected of them on completion of their studies. The book is written
as a guide and examples from the continent are used to highlight the
issues. It implores students to always be aware of the bigger picture – the
development goal – and to realise that he/she is not operating in a box. We
are all part of a community, and indeed, of a global world that is changing
– and we must adjust in order to cope with the changing needs of society.
This first edition is relevant to all students, but is biased towards those in
eastern and southern African universities. It is hoped that the second
edition, that will be published in both French and English, will be broader in
scope and will include West African reality. The editors welcome all comments
and suggestions for improvement in future editions.
