This is a comprehensive study and erudite description of the
struggle of African Indigenous Knowledge Systems in an Age of
Globalization, using in particular eighty-four children's
traditional games in south-eastern Zimbabwe. The book is an
informative and interesting anthropological account of rare African
children's games at the risk of disappearing under globalization.
The virtue of the book does not only lie in its modest
philosophical questioning of those knowledge forms that consider
themselves as superior to others, but in its laudable, healthy
appreciation of the creative art forms of traditional literature
that features in genres such as endangered children's traditional
games. The book is a clarion call to Africans and the world beyond
to come to the rescue of relegated and marginalized African
creativity in the interest of future generations.
