About the Book
“Etuk has been indefatigable in his profound determination for African revolution as admonished not only in this piece but also in his other works.”
—Adams O. Adah, Founder of Impart Africa, author of Service
As Africa begins her journey into the twenty-fi rst century, the citizens ask: how can we survive? In Listen Africans! A Revolution is Coming, author Emma Samuel Etuk addresses the question of revolution—a fundamental change to the basic fabric of society—and its historical manifestations.
Through thorough research, Etuk presents strong arguments about the need for change in the social, political, economic, and religious life of Africans. He contends that an array of issues has brought the continent to this point, including broken promises by administrators and governments; poverty and widespread hunger; angry youth and unemployment; official corruption, insensitivity, and kleptocracy; tyranny, despotism, and dictatorships; state-sponsored terrorism; infrastructural decay; and environmental pollution. As Etuk uses these examples and makes a call for a revolution, he provides a backdrop by discussing the following:
- Origin of revolutions
- Necessity for an African revolution
- Theological basis for a revolution
- Five kinds of revolutions/li>
- Lessons learned from the six major revolutions of the past
- Preparation for a revolution
Etuk maintains that change is necessary in life and that it is up to the Africans to decide what kind of revolution they should adopt in order to affect change on their continent.
