It addresses the intersection of cultural, socioeconomic, and technological factors, offering readers a thorough understanding of how these elements shape knowledge systems in Africa. Structured into five key sections?technology, pedagogy and curricula, business and ecology, culture and community, and human relationships?the book presents a cohesive framework guiding readers through various domains of knowledge production. Each chapter examines specific themes, from AI?s moral standing and mobile technologies in agriculture to digital transformation in education and the role of performing arts in cultural orientation. The chapters are authored by experts who provide empirical research, case studies, and theoretical analyses, ensuring a rich and diverse exploration of topics. By challenging conventional paradigms and advocating for context-specific approaches, the book highlights the resilience and innovation inherent in African knowledge practices. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the multifaceted nature of knowledge production in Africa. The book highlights culturally-responsive cognitive schemas, the impact of digital technologies on education and business, and the role of indigenous knowledge in sustainable development. Readers will walk away from the book understanding inclusive and effective knowledge management practices, and they will have an enhanced appreciation for the unique contributions of African knowledge systems to global discourses.
