This book examines the evolution of post-colonial African Studies
through the eyes of Africanists from the Anabaptist (Mennonite and
Church of the Brethren) community. The book chronicles the lives of
twenty-two academics and practitioners whose work spans from the
immediate post-colonial period in the 1960s to the present day, a
period in which decolonization and development have dominated
scholarly and practitioner debate. Reflecting the values and
perspectives they shared with the Mennonite Central Committee and
other church-sponsored organizations, the authors consider their
own personal journeys and professional careers, the power of the
prevailing scholarly paradigms they encountered, and the realities
of post-colonial Africa. Coming initially from Anabaptist service
programs, the authors ultimately made wider contributions to
comparative religion, church leadership, literature, music,
political science, history, anthropology, economics and banking,
health and healing, public health, extension education, and
community development. The personal histories and reflections of
the authors provide an important glimpse into the intellectual and
cultural perspectives that shaped the work of Africanist scholars
and practitioners in the post-colonial period. The book reminds us
that the work of every Africanist is shaped by their own life
stories.
