Reimagining African Scholarship

This book reimagines African scholarship by challenging the enduring influence of Eurocentric paradigms and advocating for a decisive shift towards decolonised knowledge production. It introduces the concept of “convivial scholarship,” an inclusive framework that embraces the inherent incompleteness of knowledge, the dynamism of mobility, and the power of collaboration across diverse perspectives. The collection provides a comprehensive examination of the African scholarly and publishing landscape, celebrating the voices and intellectual traditions that have often been marginalised. From analysing the complex politics of knowledge production to exploring the future of African publishing in the digital age, this book envisions and inspires a more equitable, dynamic, and transformative future for African thought.
