Hardcover. Condition: Like New. First Edition. A firm, square hardback with strong joints, just showing a slight nick at the corner. Hence a non-text page is stamped 'damaged'. Despite such this book is very good condition. The contents are crisp, fresh and tight. And so it looks and feels unread and is now offered for sale at a very reasonable price.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Addressing the consequences of European slavery, colonialism, and neo-colonialism on African history, knowledge and its institutions, this innovative 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. Avoiding colonial archival sources, it grounds itself in alternative archives created by memory, spoken words, images and photographs to look at the themes of politics, culture, nation, ethnicity, satire, poetics, magic, myth, metaphor, sculpture, textiles, hair and gender. Vividly illustrated in colour, it uses diverse and novel methods to access an African way of knowing. Exploring the different ways that a society understands and presents itself, this book highlights convergence, enmeshing private and public data to provide a comprehensive understanding of society, public consciousness, and cultural identity. 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.
