However, the author's fieldwork for this book uncovered evidence of the resilience of Africa's endogenous epistemologies. Drawing on a range of disciplines, from anthropology to literature, the author lays bare the hypocrisy underlying the ways in which dominant Western ideals of being and belonging are globalized or proliferated, while those that are unorthodox or non-Western (Yoruba and African in this case) are pathologized, subordinated and perceived as repugnant. At a time when the issues of decolonization and African epistemologies are topical across the African continent, this book is a timely contribution to the potential revival of those values and practices that make Africans African.
