Africa’s creative economy is capturing global attention, powered by bold storytelling, digital innovation, and deep cultural authenticity. From Nollywood’s cinematic rise to the worldwide influence of Afrobeats and the emergence of circular fashion, the continent’s creative industries are not only thriving—they are redefining Africa’s place on the world stage.
Africa’s Creative Frontiers brings together scholars, researchers, and practitioners to examine how fashion, music, and film are transforming African economies. It explores intersections with tourism, sustainability, and entrepreneurship, with implications for job creation, cultural preservation, and inclusive growth. This book offers critical perspectives on the challenges and opportunities shaping Africa’s creative industries, along with country-level and regional insights and strategic guidance on innovation, intellectual property, and evolving business models.
