With Africa as its point of reference and departure, this volume
examines why and how the two concepts - radicalisms and
conservatisms - should not be taken as mere binaries around which
to organize knowledge. It demonstrates that these concepts have
multiple and diverse meanings as perceived and understood from
different disciplinary vantage points, hence, the deliberate
pluralization of the terms. The essays show what happens when one
juxtaposes the two concepts and how they are easily intertwined
when different peoples' lived experiences of poverty, political and
social alienation, education, intolerance, youth activism, social
(in)justice, violence, etc. across the length and breadth of Africa
are brought to bear on our understandings of these two
particularisms. Contributors are: Adekunle Victor Owoyomi, Adeshina
