Postcolonial African Philosophy sets out a timely and critical agenda for contemporary
African, Afro-Caribbean, and African American philosophy. With many leading contributors,
this collection of newly commissioned work provides key coverage of the postcolonial
and the postmodern: the critique of eurocentrism in philosophy; philosophy in post-independence
Africa and post-civil rights black America; multiculturalism; and intercultural dialogue
between contemporary African and western philosophy. In addition, it includes important
interventions on contemporary historical, political, and cultural situations of Africa
and America at the end of the twentieth century, and philosophy's role in this milieu
