Pathways to Alternative Epistemologies in Africa Hardback
Edited by Adeshina Afolayan, Olajumoke Yacob-Haliso, Samuel Ojo Oloruntoba
Hardback
Description
This volume investigates alternative epistemological pathways by which knowledge production in Africa can proceed.
The contributors, using different intellectual dynamics, explore the existing epistemological dominance of the West—from architecture to gender discourse, from environmental management to democratic governance—and offer distinct and unique arguments that challenge the denigration of the different and differing modes of knowing that the West considered “barbaric” and “primitive.” This volume therefore constitutes a minimal gesture that further contributes to the ongoing discourse on alternative modes of knowing in Africa.
