AFRIGRADE; charting a course to a more equitable global order

Afrigrade: Charting a Course to a More Equitable Global Order

Africa is not underdeveloped — it is under-strategized.

In Afrigrade, Fred Lawanson offers a bold, intelligent, and future-focused exploration of Africa’s place in the global system. Moving beyond tired narratives of poverty and dependency, this book presents Africa as a continent of strategic potential, structural opportunity, and rising influence.

Through clear analysis and powerful insight, Afrigrade examines how history, geopolitics, economics, and governance shape Africa’s present — and how integration, innovation, and strategic thinking can shape its future. This is not a book of complaints, but a blueprint for positioning.

Written for policymakers, entrepreneurs, students, and global thinkers, Afrigrade challenges readers to see Africa not as a problem to be solved, but as a partner in building a more balanced world order.

If you care about Africa’s future — and the future of global equity — this book is essential reading.
