This timely work investigates the possibility of unyoking and
decolonising African university knowledges from colonial relics. It
claims that academics from socially, politically, and
geographically underprivileged communities in the South need to
have their voices heard outside of the global power structure. The
book argues that African universities need a relevant curriculum
that is related to the cultural and environmental experiences of
diverse African learners in order to empower themselves and
transform the world. It is written by African scholars and is based
on theoretical and practical debates on the epistemological
complexities affecting and afflicting diversity in higher education
in Africa. It examines who are the primary custodians of African
university knowledges, as well as how this relates to forms of
exclusion affecting women, the differently abled, the rural poor,
and ethnic minorities, as well as the significance of the Fourth
Industrial Revolution in the future of African universities. The
book takes an epistemological approach to university teaching and
learning, addressing issues such as decolonization and identity,
social closure and diversity disputes, and the obstacles that come
with the neoliberal paradigm. The book will be necessary reading
for academics, scholars, and postgraduate students in the fields of
Sociology of Education, decolonising education, Inclusive
Education, and Philosophy of Education, as it resonates with
existing discourses.
