African Studies Now: Critical Approaches to Racialization and Identity Politics in Francophone Contexts

Bys: Behrends, Andrea and Ndlovu-Gatsheni, Sabelo J.

This edited volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the evolving landscape of African studies in the new millennium. It details new trends, approaches, and theoretical frameworks that have the potential to shape the future of the discipline. Curated by the up-and-coming scholar Eric Tsimi in collaboration with the distinguished anthropologist Andrea Behrends and field-leading decolonial theorist Sabelo Ndlovu-Gatsheni, this collection explores methods and approaches being developed across the humanities and social sciences for decolonizing knowledge, facilitating knowledge transfer, and addressing perceived gaps between theory and practical emergencies.

For its broad coverage of a broad interdisciplinary field, as well as for its in-depth insights into the latest developments within the field as a whole, African Studies Now is a must-have for researchers and students of African studies, global development, indigenous studies, and related fields and disciplines.
