This book argues that ancient and modern African indigenous
knowledges remain key to Africa's role in global capital,
technological and knowledge development and to addressing her
marginality and postcoloniality. The contributors engage the
unresolved problematics of the historical and contemporary linkages
between African knowledges and the African academy, and between
African and global knowledges. The book relies on historical and
comparative political analysis to explore the global context for
the application of indigenous knowledges for tackling postcolonial
challenges of knowledge production, conflict and migration, and
women's rights on the continent in transcontinental African
contexts. Asserting the enduring potency of African indigenous
knowledges for the transformation of policy, the African academy
and the study of Africa in the global academy, this book will be of
interest to scholars of African Studies, postcolonial studies and
decolonisation and global affairs.
