Viewing and Interpreting Films Otherwise
This book presents things to the reader in ways that are untraditional and different. Look is taken at the political import of the filmic productions at hand. Guiding questions will be, but are not limited to the following: why was such a film produced by a person like the producer? Does the film attain the political goal the politicalized viewer sees in it? These are the questions the author seeks to answer in the book.
Ethnicity, Citizenship and State in Eastern Africa
This volume, from an Africa perspective, examines the relationship between ethnicity and citizenship within the framework of nation-state. Its objective and scope engage relational aspects of political integration, awaken public conscience, and motivate civic engagement. It provides a platform that could be considered prerequisite for political transformation. Such a framework is indispensable not only for challenging the politics of exclusion and marginalization, but also for reconstructing fractured social relationships. The test of its validity and relevancy is not whether it accounts for particular traditions, but whether it provides a framework through which we can comprehend the dynamics of ethnic identities as an avenue for promoting participatory governance and democratic accountability. An interdisciplinary study of this kind brings forth practical and theoretical contributions to the evolving concepts of ethnicity and citizenship.
The Decolonial Politics and Philosophy of Ngugi wa Thiong’o
The Decolonial Politics and Philosophy of Ngugi wa Thiong’o offers a critical analysis of Ngugi wa Thiong’o epistemic journey from a communalist, communist, nationalist, post-colonial theorist, and ultimately an established decolonial spokesperson of the Global South in the league of Paulo Freire, Edward Said, and Frantz Fanon. Through a reading of his novels and essays, this book provides insight into wa Thiong’o’s decolonial thought that was established within his overarching philosophy and later became the organizing idea for wa Thiong’o’s political activism. Brian Sibanda presents wa Thiong’o as an example of a philosopher within the Global South who has unmasked coloniality, shining light where Eurocentrism has cast darkness. This book offers a fresh perspective for scholars and readers interested in decolonial theory and African philosophy.

Indigenous Discourses on Knowledge and Development in Africa
African social development is often explained from outsider perspectives that are mainly European and Euro-American, leaving African indigenous discourses and ways of knowing and doing absent from discussions and debates on knowledge and development.

The authors and contributors to the volume present bold and timely ideas and scholarship for defining Africa through its challenges, possible policy formations, planning and implementation at the local, regional, and national levels.
