The work reinforces the demand for the decolonization of the academy and makes the case for a paradigmatic shift in content, subject matter and curriculum in institutions in Africa and elsewhere ? with a view to challenging and rejecting disinformation and intellectual servitude. Indigenous intellectual discourses related to diverse disciplines take center stage in this volume with a focus on education, mathematics, medicine, chemistry and engineering in their historical and contemporary context. 410 0$aAnti-colonial Educational Perspectives for Transformative Change 606 $aEducation 606 $aEducation 615 0$aEducation. 615 14$aEducation. 676 $a001.089 676 $a370 700 $aEmeagwali$b Gloria$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01226234 702 $aSefa Dei$b George J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484579203321 996 $aAfrican Indigenous Knowledge and the Disciplines$92847134 997 $aUNINA
