Ubuntu is the African idea of personhood: persons depend on other
persons in order to be. This is summarised in the expression:
umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu, that is, a person is a person through
persons. This edited collection illustrates the power of
fictionalised representation in reporting research conducted on
Ubuntu in Southern Africa. The chapters insert the concept of
Ubuntu within the broad intellectual debate of self and community,
to demonstrate its intellectual and philosophical value and
theoretical grounding in known practices emanating from the African
continent, and indeed how it works to unsettle some of our received
notions of the self.
