Cultural Studies has evolved and continues to evolve primarily
along regional lines. However uncomfortable this might be, the
genie of British cultural studies cannot be returned to the bottle
of history. Thus, national versions of cultural studies have arisen
in a few African countries. This book engages two critical and
seemingly contradictory tasks: i) to contribute to the development
of cultural studies from the perspectives of African experiences
and indigenous frames of reference; and ii) to examine these in
terms of transnational trajectories of the field in ways that do
not reduce them to one or other context. Much cultural studies
remains concerned with Texts, often disconnected from their
contexts. For the authors published here, the contexts include
African philosophies, cosmologies and ontologies. It includes the
writings of both residential natives and those who have re-located
to the diaspora, a spread that opens conversations with
international approaches that both include and exclude African
experiences and work. This anthology juxtaposes many different
kinds of cultural studies done in different parts of the world as a
means of creating a global dialogue around the signifier of
Africa'. This book was published as a special issue of Cultural
Studies.
