Postcolonial African Philosophy: A Critical Reader

"We are indeed blessed to have Eze's up-to-date and magnificent anthology. It brings together some of the most stimulating texts of African philosophy. Its ambitious effort will serve well all those interested in African Studies and students and professionals of philosophy in general." V. Y. Mudimbe, Stanford University

" Emmanuel Chukwudi Eze has assembled a collection of essays that will be a most substantial contribution to making the case for African philosophy. Not just by the persuasiveness of each argument, but, as well, by virtue of each person who contributes to the effort. One important effect will be to further the development of African philosophy by moving the discussion well beyond the potential danger of confinement within improper conceptions of raciality not simply by attacking racialized thought, but via the constitutive activities of the contributors. This collection is, then, to be read and pondered in a number of respects in order to appreciate fully the very important contribution it is. " Professor Lucius Outlaw, Haverford College
