en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 oct 2025
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.

Recenzii

Amidst ongoing debates around "decolonizing" academic disciplines--debates that have often remained focused on and in the Global North--African Studies Now offers a timely and critical intervention. Across an impressive range of disciplines (history, anthropology, philosophy, political science), this volume recentres African perspectives, rethinks approaches, and refreshes our conceptual vocabularies. Above all, the contributions assembled here assert Francophone Africa as a vibrant site of intellectual and cultural production: that is, where some of the most important and exciting conversations in African Studies are happening, right now.
