This volume brings together indigenous interpretations and
subterranean dialogues that encapsulate the interlocking dimensions
of postcoloniality, African historiography, African feminist
epistemologies and the African conception of the historical
archive. The essays in the volume engage with local and global
histories providing a shared intellectual space and creating new
ideas which will meet diverse audiences. Topics include current
debates in African historiography that promises to radically
transform contemporary understandings of the subject. Through the
interdisciplinary engagements of the contributors, this volume
broadens the frontiers of historical imagination. Toyin Falola's
historical scholarship and his memoirs become the center of this
volume for various reasons. Falola's scholarship is characterized
by multiple modes of historical investigation, which offers
complexities to the conventional models of "Afrocentric" histories.
This volume reflects on key aspects of Falola's scholarship. The
book is an inclusive re-appropriation of history making processes
with every chapter constituting the efforts of new scholars
attempting to redefine the field. Each chapter in this book is a
distinct historiographical essay, which explores multiple
perspectives on the diverse historiographical issues.
