Anti-Globalization Forces, the Politics of Resistance, and Africa

Promises and Perils

E. Osei Kwadwo Prempeh

Carleton University

Globalization, the current restructuring and reshaping of the contemporary global economy, is a powerful transformative process that has acquired hegemonic status as a result of its operative logic and ideological connotation. However, the widening reach and uneven nature of globalization has provoked a counterhegemonic resistance and political counter movements that challenge its exclusionary practices and its silencing of the voices of the people. This article interrogates the grassroots counterhegemonic process of "globalization-from-below," as captured in the work of Richard Falk, and questions the extent to which this process incorporates the marginalized voices in African civil society.

Key Words: globalization and Africa • Africa and anti-globalization forces
