Having formed the basis for the justification of centuries of Euro-American socio-economic onslaughts, it has been identified as the appropriate tool for reversing the damages wreaked on Africa during these periods. This is mainly because the structure of the Euro-American hegemony in Africa was designed to alter and dictate African knowledge production systems and its application to African reality, in a bid to keep the continent perpetually reliant on the Global North. This is why the field of African Studies is and has always been instrumental in presenting the African narrative and enhancing its prospects. Despite their importance, the African perspectives continue to be marginalized or excluded in research, creating a problem of misrepresentation of the continent. It is to this that this book has responded-the urgent need to eliminate the vestiges of colonialism in the academy and research methodologies"--

    Narrating War and Peace in Africa interrogates conventional representations of Africa and African culture -- mainly in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries -- with an emphasis on portrayals of conflict and peace. While Africa has experienced political and social turbulence throughout its history, more recent conflicts seem to reinforce the myth of barbarism across the continent: in Nigeria, Rwanda, Somalia, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Kenya, Mozambique, Chad, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Sudan. The essays in this volume address reductive and stereotypical assumptions of postcolonial violence as "tribal" in nature, and offer instead various perspectives -- across disciplinary boundaries -- that foster a less fetishized, more contextualized understanding of African war, peace, and memory. Through their geographical, historical, and cultural scope and diversity, the chapters in Narrating War and Peace in Africa aim to challenge negative stereotypes that abound in relation to Africa in general and to its wars and conflicts in particular, encouraging a shift to more balanced and nuanced representations of the continent and its political and social climates.

    Introduction: The Decolonial Moments -- Epistemologies and Methodologies -- Decoloniality and Decolonizing Knowledge -- Eurocentrism and Intellectual Imperialism -- Epistemologies of Intellectual Liberation -- Decolonizing Knowledge in Africa -- Decolonizing Research Methodology -- Oral Tradition: Cultural Analysis and Epistemic Value -- Agencies and Voices -- Voices of Decolonization -- Voices of Decoloniality -- Decoloniality: A Critique -- Women's Voices on Decolonization -- Empowering Marginal Voices: LGBTQ and African Studies -- Intellectual Spaces -- Decolonizing the African Academy -- Decolonizing Knowledge Through Language -- Decolonizing of African Literature -- Identity and the African Feminist Writers -- Decolonizing African Aesthetics -- Decolonizing African History -- Decolonizing Africa Religion -- Decolonizing African Philosophy -- African Futurism. "The field of African Studies (the perception and representation of the African past) has played a central role in the different periods of Africa's liberation struggles. Having formed the basis for the justification of centuries of Euro-American socio-economic onslaughts, it has been identified as the appropriate tool for reversing the damages wreaked on Africa during these periods. This is mainly because the structure of the Euro-American hegemony in Africa was designed to alter and dictate African knowledge production systems and its application to African reality, in a bid to keep the continent perpetually reliant on the Global North. This is why the field of African Studies is and has always been instrumental in presenting the African narrative and enhancing its prospects. Despite their importance, the African perspectives continue to be marginalized or excluded in research, creating a problem of misrepresentation of the continent. It is to this that this book has responded-the urgent need to eliminate the vestiges of colonialism in the academy and research methodologies"--

    Narrating War and Peace in Africa interrogates conventional representations of Africa and African culture -- mainly in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries -- with an emphasis on portrayals of conflict and peace. While Africa has experienced political and social turbulence throughout its history, more recent conflicts seem to reinforce the myth of barbarism across the continent: in Nigeria, Rwanda, Somalia, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Kenya, Mozambique, Chad, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Sudan. The essays in this volume address reductive and stereotypical assumptions of postcolonial violence as "tribal" in nature, and offer instead various perspectives -- across disciplinary boundaries -- that foster a less fetishized, more contextualized understanding of African war, peace, and memory. Through their geographical, historical, and cultural scope and diversity, the chapters in Narrating War and Peace in Africa aim to challenge negative stereotypes that abound in relation to Africa in general and to its wars and conflicts in particular, encouraging a shift to more balanced and nuanced representations of the continent and its political and social climates.
