About this book

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.
