Description:	This edited volume is the outgrowth of the First Public Scholars in Africana Studies International Conference on Globalization which was held at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) from October 29–31, 2009. The theme of the conference was “Rethinking Economic Development in the Context of Globalization: Entrepreneurship, the Knowledge Economy, and Sustainable Development.” The purpose of the conference was to examine the impacts of globalization on various countries of the world, with a particular emphasis on Africa and the African Diaspora. Scholars were asked to rethink and reconceptualize globalization within the broader context of the twenty-fi rst century knowledge economy and efforts put forward by nation-states of the world to achieve sustainable development. A second goal of the conference was to develop public policy recommendations that could be implemented by nation-states, political leaders, NGOs, and members of the public at large to enhance the attainment of economic and sustainable development. Although not all the presenters are represented here, we would like to acknowledge the contributions of all of them
