CODESRIA College of Mentors book

By Prof. Abdul Karim Bangura, USA

Our CODESRIA College of Mentors book titled Multidisciplinary Explorations of Corohysteria Caused by the COVID-2019 Pandemic, published by the very prestigious Rowman and Littlefield Publishing Group, has been listed and lauded in the Choice Outstanding Academic Titles, which comprises the best in scholarly titles, including books and digital resources, reviewed by Choice during the past year.

This multidisciplinary volume includes an international roster of contributors who explore how mass hysteria has emerged among people across the globe as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The contributors provide international perspectives on the effects of this “corohysteria” in areas such as education, healthcare, religion, psychology, mathematics, economics, media, racism, politics, etc. They argue the hysteria, angst, fear, unrest, and difficulties associated with the pandemic are exploited to foster political and social agendas and have led to the undermining of national and global responses to the virus.
