This provocative book is anchored on the insurgent and resurgent spirit of decolonization of the twenty-first century. 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 the 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.
