Unyoking African University Knowledge: A Pursuit of the Decolonial Agenda: African Higher Education: Developments and Perspectives, cartea 14
Amasa P. Ndofirepi, Simon Vurayai, Gloria Erimaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 apr 2023
This book proposes a disruption and potential end to western hegemonic epistemologies that manifest the neoliberal geopolitical terrain in the form of cultural imperialism, epistemicide, and linguicide through a decolonial approach to the curriculum in African universities. It interrogates and challenges the neo-colonial entanglement in regional higher education policy processes coupled with the excessive dependence of regional stakeholders on western external actors for higher education policy and envisages a decolonial alternative future for the regionalisation of higher education in Africa. To this end, the book brings in a more philosophical and practical hermeneutic of knowledge production and dissemination that unyokes post-independence African universities from the bondage of erstwhile colonisers.
