This volume interrogates the popularity of problematic theories in the study of Africa and Africans in the 21st century. The book provides ethnographic and intellectual material for scholars seeking to rethink and reimagine a number of externally imposed theories used (un-)consciously in Africa, with the intention of raising awareness and fostering critical thinking amongst scholars theorising Africa. With its theorising focus and contributors drawn from diverse disciplines and geographical locations, the book is both a pacesetter on how to think, research and theorise Africa, and an invaluable asset for social scientists, development practitioners, civil society activists and leaders in the politics and economy of everyday life on the continent. It poses an invitation to those seeking to re-embrace and reconnect with theory as an indispensable ingredient and determinant of quality in critical production and consumption of knowledge on Africa and of relevance to Africans.

Knowledge Development in Nursing: Theory and Process, 10th Edition helps you understand nursing theory and its links with nursing research and practice.

Myrdal described this book as a discussion of three key notions in economic theory: the ideas of value, freedom, and collective house-keeping. It is through these concepts, he charged, that political ideology has been intro-duced into economic theory. This volume continues to be relevant in its emphasis on the problem of objectivity in the social sciences.

Theory and Nursing offers a comprehensive yet concise exploration of nursing theory and its development, providing a solid foundation for an understanding of the nature of nursing. Emphasizing the intrinsic relationships between theory and the functional aspects of research and practice, this book prepares the student not only for the study of nursing science but for the work of nursing itself. The fourth edition includes an updated discussion of the emergence of nursing theory, reflecting recent developments in midrange nursing theory. This book employs a questioning approach to the concepts of nursing theory, engaging the reader to critically examine the assumptions underlying those concepts as well as to construct a personal framework of nursing knowledge. The language of this edition has been clarified to make the concepts more accessible, and the new edition employs a shift in language from the terminology of the traditional scientific method to care-based language appropriate to the science of nursing. Each definition in the glossary of terms includes page references to the text, thus aiding the reader in developing a comfortable familiarity with the terminology. Extensively revised references and bibliography provide guidance for readers as they learn to formulate and test their own theories of nursing. Updated appendices overview both the historical perspective of the major nursing theories and the current trend toward practice-based theory.end t ë0.

Combining the knowledge and experience of leading international researchers, practitioners and policy consultants, Knowledge for Peace discusses how we identify, claim and contest the knowledge we have in relation to designing and analysing peacebuilding and transitional justice programmes. Exploring how knowledge in the field is produced, and by whom, the book examines the research-policy-practice nexus, both empirically and conceptually, as an important part of the politics of knowledge production.
