Is this important project limited to the humanities? Is it a project for the future? Are there forerunners at African universities today? The contributors to this volume show different trajectories for anthropology as a discipline and for decolonising academia across the continent and beyond. They offer a variety of perspectives, especially regarding collaboration between African and German scholars in the areas of research, teaching and institutional development: While some are hopeful and take inspiration from earlier experiences of disciplinary and methodological developments in academic decolonisation and international collaborations, others remain critical and call for more radical attempts at decolonisation.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & SocialbisacshAfrica.Anthropology.Decolonisation.Ethnology.Germany.Postcolonialism.Science.Sociology of Science.University.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & Social.378.6Pelican Michaela1708576Zafer Karim1791394Bollig Michael1146630Arndt Maria1782233MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910985983603321Decolonising the Future Academy in Africa and Beyond4328767UNINA
