ABOUT THE JOURNAL
Inkanyiso – Journal of African Thought deliberately embraces epistemologies of the Global South as part and parcel of its geo-politics of knowledge vis-à-vis the problematic epistemologies of the Global North. This posture finds concrete expression in the contributions received. As a matter of fact, the journal takes seriously the indigenous epistemologies, ontologies as well as the historical and socio-economic realities of its immediate communities.
