ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW BOOK

[Femi Segun]

We have the pleasure to announce the publication of our new book: Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Development in Africa edited by Samuel Ojo Oloruntoba, Adeshina Afolayan and Olajumoke Yacob-Haliso. Some members of the Forum have chapters in the book. This edited volume analyzes African knowledge production and alternative development paths of the region. The contributors demonstrate ways in which African-centered knowledge refutes stereotypes depicted by Euro-centric scholars and, overall, examine indigenous African contributions in global knowledge production and development. The project provides historical and contemporary evidences that challenge the dominance of Euro-centric knowledge, particularly, about Africa, across various disciplines. Each chapter engages with existing scholarship and extends it by emphasizing on Indigenous knowledge systems in addition to future indicators of African knowledge production. 

 The book  celebrates the works of the Moderator of the this Forum, in what some have referred to as Falolaism. Please find attached the cover page. 

[Harrow, Kenneth]

congratulations on this publication!
