Full Description
This is a powerful collection addressing the challenges, possibilities and responsibilities for de/anti-colonial African educational futurities. The book is framed within an anti-colonial interrogation of collective educational leadership, responsibility and accountability to address the invisibilization and marginalization of African Indigenous knowledge systems and to examine the critical role these knowledges can play in the decolonization of African education.
