The attainment of political independence in Africa was like grabbing a radiant crab apple from the tree. In this book Pascah Mungwini argues that African philosophy is the bearer of the emancipative mission for its authentic liberation extending beyond the borders of the continent.

This book is a welcome addition to African philosophy's quest to establish itself as a credible philosophical tradition. Mungwini's comprehensive approach is certainly going to illuminate some dark crevices in the history of African philosophy.

Mungwini provides a compelling and lucid account of contemporary African philosophy, highlighting the continuing struggles to overcome colonialist and racist structures and assumptions, and the myriad conversations it has and can have with other established and emerging world philosophies.
