African voices: in search of a decolonial turn

This book discusses the contributions of African thinkers and actors to what Paul Tiyambe Zeleza calls recentering Africa in discussions about major African phenomena. It makes an input into ongoing debates about: what it means to decolonise knowledge; the university; the school; the library; the archive; and the museum. The book responds to the need for Africa-centred literature to be used by those who teach, discuss and implement the decolonization and Africanisation of knowledge, power and being. The book hopes to stimulate further conversations about many other African voices engaged in epistemic disobedience.

Abstract

This book discusses the contributions of African thinkers and actors to what Paul Tiyambe Zeleza calls recentering Africa in discussions about major African phenomena. It makes an input into ongoing debates about: what it means to decolonise knowledge; the university; the school; the library; the archive; and the museum. The book responds to the need for Africa-centred literature to be used by those who teach, discuss and implement the decolonization and Africanisation of knowledge, power and being. The book hopes to stimulate further conversations about many other African voices engaged in epistemic disobedience.
