In Africa, the twenty-first century began with new challenges
surrounding and regarding philosophical discourses. Questions of
economic and political liberation, the displacement of populations
and the process of urbanization present ongoing challenges, linked
to problems such as endemic diseases and famine, the restructure of
the traditional family, gender and the position of women, the
transmission of culture from past to future generations. Changes in
labor relations resulting from introduction of financial
speculation, cutting edge technologies, and differential access to
digital and older cultural forms have placed real demands on
Africans and Africanists working in philosophy. This volume
explores the ways in which African philosophies express
"transitional acts," those acts by which thought interacts with
history as it is being made and by which it assures its own renewal
in proposing provisional solutions to historical problems. A
transitional act combines both the audacity of confrontation and
the novelty of creation, prudence in the face of risks and
anticipation in the face of the unexpected. Influential and
emerging thinkers from both sides of the Atlantic consider this
dual activity in the realm of criticism and imagination, public
spaces in Africa, and the relationship between historical politics
and historical poetics.

Jean Godefroy Bidima s La Palabre examines the traditional
African institution of palaver as a way to create dialogue and open
exchange in an effort to resolve conflict and promote democracy. In
the wake of South Africa s Truth and Reconciliation Commissions and
the gacaca courts in Rwanda, Bidima offers a compelling model of
how to develop an African public space where dialogue can combat
misunderstanding. This volume, which includes other essays on legal
processes, cultural diversity, memory, and the internet in Africa,
offers English-speaking readers the opportunity to become
acquainted with a highly original and important postcolonial
thinker."
