Pathways to Alternative Epistemologies in Africa, Hardback Book

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.
