If you want to see the effective erasure of the African world from the
production of knowledge, just pick up a mathematics textbook authored
in the West. The only articulation of knowledge from Africa, even to
be drowned in controversies, is Ancient Egypt. And you may be warned
that you are not speaking of Africa, if you are speaking of Ancient
Egypt.

Well, just this piece in which one wrestled with an angel called
mathematics. In fact, an inner disciplinary marginalisation. Is one
claiming to be able to think at all, what more being a mathematician?
