"This volume illuminates philanthropy in Africa through case studies and ethnographic material across a number of themes: cycles of reciprocity among black professionals, social justice philanthropy, community foundations, as well as ubuntu and giving in township and rural settings. Leading thinkers on normative aspects of philanthropy in Africa also critically explore the theories, perspectives and research on philanthropy."--Back cover.
