Building on the influential works of Valentin-Yves Mudimbe and more recent studies by Axel Fleisch and Rhiannon Stephens, this book bridges previous limitations by offering a comprehensive, interdisciplinary analysis. Each chapter examines the conceptualization of Africa within a specific discipline, balancing local and global perspectives, blending competing viewpoints, and providing suggestions for future research. The book will be essential for students, scholars, and researchers interested in a better understanding of the diverse and complex narratives that shape our knowledge of Africa and its intellectual heritage. 0aAfricaxPolitics and government. 0aAfricaxEconomic conditions. 0aAfricaxReligion. 0aPhilosophy, African. 0aAfricaxHistory. 0aEthnologyxAfrica. 0aCulture.14aAfrican Politics.24aAfrican Economics.24aAfrican Religions.24aAfrican Philosophy.24aAfrican History.24aAfrican Culture.1 aBangura, Abdul Karim.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aIfedi, JP Afamefuna.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303174534808iPrinted edition:z978303174536208iPrinted edition:z9783031745379 0aAfrican Studies and Research Forum Series,x2948-240240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-74535-5
