Opis

This book considers the work of the preeminent scholar on decoloniality, Sabelo Ndlovu-Gatsheni, instrumental in theorising how to advance a decolonial system of education and epistemology. This book examines the development of decoloniality discourse and of considering the future direction of the African knowledge economy.

Recenzje

Sabelo Ndlovu-Gatsheni and African Decolonial Studies carries the stamp of an innovative work: it is the first to articulate the nexus of scholarship and politics as a vital charge in the hand of an individual scholar. Deploring his magisterial voice, Falola has offered us a solid book, an intellectual fortress to fully understand decoloniality.

In this volume, Toyin Falola, the globally acclaimed doyen of African Studies, presents a critically thoughtful and well-researched book on decolonization and decoloniality, exploring the details and explaining their intricacies and nuances through the work of Ndlovu-Gathseni. Most importantly, Falola moves beyond Ndlovu-Gathseni's work to offer us the most expansive text and context on a subject that is now at  the forefront of global scholarship.
