Sommario/riassunto: | This work argues that Africology, the Afrocentric study of African phenomena, represents an oasis of innovation in progressive venues. It brings together some of the most discussed theorists and intellectuals in the field of Africology and offers new interpretations and analysis while challenging the predominant frameworks in philosophy, social justice, literature, and history. |
