With the world’s youngest workforce, abundant natural resources, rising cultural influence, and on the precipice of having the globe’s largest trade area, Africa is ready to be met on its own terms. Yet mainstream media coverage focuses on conflict, poverty, disease, and other tired stereotypes, presenting a picture that is far from the vibrant, contemporary continent that exists today. This special issue of the Wilson Quarterly features some of today's most important African voices, and focuses on six key themes that demonstrate just what makes today’s Africa increasingly consequential beyond its borders: Economic Opportunity, People, Technology, Cultural Influence, Governance, and US-Africa Relations.
