The author calls upon Africa to turn over a new leaf in the domains of politics, economy and knowledge as it frees itself from imperial global designs and global coloniality. With a focus on Africa and its Diaspora, the author calls for a radical turning over of a new leaf predicated on decolonial turn and epistemic freedom. The key themes subjected to decolonial analysis include: (1) decolonization/decoloniality - articulating the meaning and contribution of the decolonial turn; (2) subjectivity/identity - examining the problem of Blackness (identity) as external and internal invention; (3) the Bandung spirit of decolonization as an embodiment of resistance and possibilities, development and self-improvement; (4) development and self-improvement - of African political economy, as entangled in colonial matrix of power, and the African Renaissance, as weakened by undecolonized political and economic thought; and (5) knowledge - the role of African humanities in the struggle for epistemic freedom. This ground-breaking volume opens the intellectual canvas on the challenges and possibilities of African futures. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of Politics and IR, Development, Sociology, African Studies, Black Studies, Education, History Postcolonial Studies and the emerging field of Decolonial Studies"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aWorlding beyond the West. 606 $aDecolonization$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xForeign economic relations 607 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aDecolonization 676 $a325.3 700 $aNdlovu-Gatsheni$b Sabelo J.$0939194 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823466503321 996 $aDecolonization, development and knowledge in Africa$93914332 997 $aUNINA
