African Voices (Paperback)

"A bold and significant attempt at mainstreaming African contributions to debates [about Africa] in their own right, rather than as merely reactive—and colonized—perspectives." —Eghosa E. Osaghae, University of Ibadan

"Unequivocally quashes myths long reified that African scholarship needs to be validated elsewhere.... A must read!" —Kelo Segobyye, Namibia University of Science and Technology

"An authoritative compendium about African scholars of note who have succinctly articulated the African viewpoint whether in contrast to or critique of Eurocentrism." —Catherine A. Odora Hoppers, UNISA

What does it mean to decolonize knowledge ... in the university, the school, the library, the museum? In the context of this question, Siphamandla Zondi explores the contributions of African thinkers and actors to what Paul Tiyambe Zeleza calls recentering Africa in discussions about major African phenomena. His book is sure to stimulate further conversations about the many other African voices engaged in epistemic disobedience.
