Addressing the consequences of colonialism on African history, knowledge and its institutions, this innovative work from one of Africa's most eminent historians uses memory, visual aesthetics and literature to consider the 'Self' and Yoruba Being in the context of the African decolonial project.
"Addressing the consequences of European slavery, colonialism, and neo-colonialism on African history, knowledge, and its institutions, this ... book applies autoethnography to the understanding of African knowledge systems. Considering the 'Self' and Yoruba Being (the individual and the collective) in the context of the African decolonial project, Falola strips away Eurocentric influences and interruptions from African epistemology"--Jacket flap.
