Decolonizing African Studies Pedagogies: Knowledge Production, Epistemic Imperialism and Black Agency

Reviews
Centering Africa as a subject of study, Decolonizing African Studies Pedagogies offers nuanced, realistic, thought-provoking, and rich menu of ideas for addressing epistemic racism and disrupting oppressive structures of knowledge creation and mobilization. A great book for those seeking a fairer and an equitable world.

—Thomas Kwasi Tieku, King’s University College at The University of Western Ontario, Canada.
The theme and collection constitute a timely and an impressive cutting-edge contribution to both the theorizing and praxis of epistemic agency. This book will be powerful scholarly and practical reference for students and scholars across academic disciplines as well as practitioners and policymakers in treating with priority the defining knowledge matter.

This book makes a vigorous contribution to the struggle for epistemic decolonisation from Eurocentrism. It is daring yet still accessible. Just like that, the contributors masterfully attain the elusive balance between realistic cynicism and uplifting hope. Read this book and learn! It’s a gift to us.
