Recenzii
'In offering a monumental feast for African Studies, Toyin Falola challenges us to look critically beyond disciplinary boundaries by proposing painstaking indigenous paths to scholarly self-determination in the domain of African knowledge production, where the rain of Western epistemologies continues to beat us.' Rowland Abiodun, Amherst College
'Even regular readers of the rich and expansive oeuvre of the indefatigable and prolific historian, Toyin Falola, will find a wealth of new insights and fresh analysis weaved around 'autoethnography' as an archive, concept and methodology that is ideal for self-understanding of Africa and Africans. With his unwavering commitment to decolonizing knowledge, Falola's new book is illuminating on aspects of self, nation, culture, art, gender, photography, and everything to do with Africa and Africans.' Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni, University of Bayreuth
'Toyin Falola's book, which explores the connection between autoethnography and African studies, opens numerous intellectual possibilities in a characteristically lucid manner. It adds a much-needed scholarly voice and perspective to the burgeoning field of decolonial studies. This offering is most certainly an earnest breath of fresh air by Africa's most impressive historian.' Sanya Osha, University of Cape Town
