Secure TransactionBook Description
Focusing on both the prospects and pitfalls of intellectual decolonization, this book centers Africa as a subject of study and presents a plethora of ideas, reflections, and possible actions pointing to why the academic project of teaching (and researching) about Africa still requires an overhaul. Assembling critical perspectives of scholars engaged in African Studies and other cognate disciplines on the continent and in the diaspora, it contributes ideas on how to navigate systems, curricula, and academic contexts that have perpetuated a colonial toxicity that undermines Black agency and epistemic justice. This book will be of interest to students, researchers, educational leaders and policy makers across diverse disciplines interested in championing a decolonial praxis in academic spaces and universities.
