Dani Wadada Nabudere, the illustrious Ugandan scholar, produced a diverse body of work on various aspects of African culture, politics, and philosophy. Toward the end of his life, he formulated a theoretical construct that he termed “Afrikology.” Unlike most other Afrocentrists, who have stopped with the task of proving the primacy of the Egyptian past and its numerous cultural and scientific achievements, Nabudere strenuously attempts to connect that illustrious heritage with the African present. This, remarkably, is what makes his project worthy of careful attention. His corpus is multidisciplinary, although a major preoccupation with Africa is discernible in virtually all his works. His writings deal with critiques of imperialism, African political systems, processes of globalization and Africa’s location within them, and finally the ideological and existential imperatives of Afrocentric discourse.

CODESRIA publishes Africa Development, the longest standing Africa based social science journal; Afrika Zamani, a journal of history; the African Sociological Review; the African Journal of International Affairs; Africa Review of Books and the Journal of Higher Education in Africa. [...] Essentially, Nabudere's philosophy of Afrikology traces the historical, cultural, scientific, and social links between the "Cradle of Humankind" and the contemporary world, with a view to healing the seismic severances occasioned by violence, false thinking, war, loss, and dispossession in order to accomplish an epistemological and psychic sense of wholeness for an African collective self. [...] As such, this study provides a critical analysis of Nabudere's contributions to the Dani Nabudere's Afrikology: A Quest for African Holismviii broad field of African scholarship and of his stature in the discipline of African studies. [...] Afrocentricity is aware of the numerous feints and deceptions of Eurocentrism because every time the demise of the latter and racism are proclaimed, a fresh assault is made upon the heart of former. [...] But even more than this cloak and dagger relationship, Afrocentricity continually celebrates its freedom and remains resolutely close to the rhythms of joy and catharsis in contrast to the immensity, solitude, and relentlessness of the dialectic.

How do we understand and create kowledge? Does scientific knowledge cover all knowledge? Afrikology tries to answer these questions by tracing the issue of epistemology to the Cradle of Humanity in Africa and through such a reflection the Monograph establishes a basis for holistic and integrated ways of knowledge production that makes it possible to interface scientific knowledge with other forms of knowledge. In this way Afrikology responds to the crisis created by the fragmentation of knowledge through existing academic disciplines. Afrikology therefore advances transdisciplinarity and hermeneutics to a level where they attain a coherent basis for interacting with Afrikology as an epistemology which returns wholeness to understanding and knowledge production.

This monograph is intended to examine the epistemology of restorative rights in view of the continuing violation of rights in all aspects of life on the African continent and other parts of the world. It is based on the research, which the Marcus Garvey Pan-Afrikan Institute undertook between 2006-2008, under a cross-disciplinary research project entitled Restorative Justice and its Relationship to International Humanitarian Law, which resulted in a Comprehensive Report that was later discussed at an international conference in Nairobi in August 2008. This conference was opened by the Prime Minister of Kenya, Right Hon. Raila Odinga and attended by Ministers of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, judges and other ministers from the five countries in which the research was carried out, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Southern Sudan. The objective here is to relate the concept of restorative justice, in its broad and cross-disciplinary meaning to the epistemology of Afrikology and transdisciplinarity, which aim at breaking down disciplinary boundaries between the different academic disciplines, which inhibit our capabilities of looking at realities in a comprehensive, holistic manner; leading to the adoption of fragmented solutions to problems, which inevitably fail to address those problems. As stated in the monograph on the epistemology of Afrikology, knowledge is created holistically by the heart and the basis of the perceptions and experiences of the five senses. The knowledge created through the word, which ultimately constitutes the language and the community, is related to our cosmic forces and reason, which gives cosmic significance to our existence. We cannot therefore detach ourselves from these cosmic forces and reality must be examined from this combinatory holistic understanding.

In this meditation, respected Ugandan academic Dani Wadada Nabudere traces the roots of the global economic crisis and warns of the threat that the decline of Western nations poses to the African continent—the final frontier for those in search of new lands and resources to exploit. As a deterrent to what he sees as the encroachment of super-profiteers looking to Africa for the land to increase their profits in industrial agriculture, Nabudere advocates for what he terms “community sites of knowledge,” that is, the use of indigenous tools and knowledge to revitalize the lives of Africa’s people. The book puts forth the belief that any dependence on imported knowledge and material instruments will only lead to the entrenchment of colonial stereotypes, and that indigenous knowledge is imbued with the roots of “complex ecosystems” that require the inputs of a diversity of expertise and experiences and that are capable of producing the knowledge necessary for the residents of the African continent to reclaim the future.

African philosophy has for long been rejected on the basis that it is not known, or has not been written down. Behind this view is the idealist presumption that for something to exist, it must first be perceived. However, for something to be perceived, it must first exist. African Philosophy: Critical Dimensions examines what constitutes African philosophy in terms of its meaning, foundation, sources, methodology, characteristics, and relevance. The book analyses traditional African philosophy from the political, social, ethical, epistemological and metaphysical angles. The book further critically discusses modern African political philosophy, modern African social philosophy, modern African economic philosophy, and modern African philosophy of religion. It ends with the identification of the different conclusions that were derived from the study and general recommendations, some specifically for researchers and writers, especially in the area of African philosophy. Wilfred Lajul joins other authentic voices examining African Philosophy.

This handbook comprises fresh and incisive research focusing on African media, culture and communication. The chapters from a cross-section of scholars dissect the forces shaping the field within a changing African context. It adds critical corpora of African scholarship and theory that places the everyday worlds, needs and uses of Africans first. The book goes beyond critiques of the marginality of African approaches in media and communication studies to offer scholars the theoretical and empirical toolkit needed to start building critical corpora of African scholarship and theory that places the everyday worlds, needs and uses of Africans first. Decoloniality demands new epistemological interventions in African media, culture and communication, and this book is an important interlocutor in this space. In a globally interconnected world, changing patterns of authority and power pose new challenges to the ways in which media institutions are constituted and managed, as well as how communication and media policy is negotiated and the manner in which citizens engage with increasing media opportunities. The handbook focuses on the interrelationships of the local and the global and the concomitant consequences for media practice, education and citizen engagement in today’s Africa. Altogether, the book foregrounds convivial epistemologies relevant for locating African media and communication in the pluriverse. This handbook is an essential read for critical media, communications, cultural studies and journalism scholars.

Historical documents and legends are replete with treasure lore providing stories of lost treasure founded in real events and fact, this book relates just such a story. Although it can and has happened, it is a rarity for a treasure deposit to be discovered by the "merest chance." True, many lost treasures have been discovered, but typically the discovery is made through years of exhaustive, dedicated research, and the blood, sweat and personal sacrifices of thorough exploration. Other treasures have been discovered just to be lost again. Still others have proven to be hoaxes, while others remain hidden awaiting discovery. This is the story of a quest for one such treasure, portions of the ransom of the Inca Atahualpa purportedly spirited into an obscure mountainous region of Ecuador known as the Llanganatis by Atahualpa's half-brother General Rumiñahui in the year 1534. Treasure stories like any story, have a beginning, middle and an end. Throughout any story there can be misdirection and misinformation, but the paranoia, greed and lust associated with possessing secrets associated with a lost treasure deposit appears to amplify a storyteller's incentive to hide and obscure the complete truth through misinformation and misdirection. For this reason, the closer one can get to a first person narrative, the closer one gets to the truth. Previously, Commander Dyott's involvement in the story relied on third, fourth and fifth hand accounts that increasingly blurred the lines between fact and fiction. Now we have the ability to bring everything back into focus with first and second hand accounts. Dyott's account will not be paraphrased, but background information and clarification will be provided in order that the circumstances that form the setting for events, statements and ideas, can be fully understood and assessed. For the first time in print, posthumously related through extensive personal correspondence, George M. Dyott and the "family in New England" expose their involvement in a Quest for Inca Gold, Atahualpa's treasure. Once and for all the fog of misinformation, misdirection and literary license which has obscured the truth for decades shall be lifted. With the characters unveiling the story in their own words as it developed, through Commander Dyott's Llanganati expedition of 1947, the reader is provided an experience like none other. Whether the reader has any previous knowledge of the story of Atahualpa's ransom and the quest for his treasure, or is just discovering the story for the first time is irrelevant. The intriguing story about to be told provides sufficient background information and new evidence that exposes a different version of events. Regardless if you are an active explorer, treasure hunter, historian or armchair adventurer, the true story of Commander Dyott's journey into the unknown awaits within.

The underlying principle of this book is the African philosophy of Ubuntu, which acts as a guide for developing empathic products and services. The book makes the case that empathy is the key to any successful product and service design project because it enables designers to make wise design choices that align with users' demands. Fifteen chapters provide the latest industrial design developments, techniques, and processes explicitly targeting emerging economies. At the outset, it covers the design context and the philosophy of the Ubuntu approach, which places people and communities at the centre of the development agenda. The book covers new product development, design research, design cognition, digital and traditional prototyping, bringing products to the market, establishing a company's brand name, intellectual property rights, traditional knowledge, and the business case for design in Afrika. It concludes with a discussion about the future of design and the skills aspiring designers will need. African Industrial Design Practice: Perspectives on Ubuntu Philosophy will be an essential textbook for undergraduates, postgraduates, instructors, and beginner designers in emerging economies to provide regionally contextualised design processes, illustrated examples, and outcomes.
