Summary:
"This book confronts colonial development models to decolonize the methodologies and epistemologies of development in Africa and advocate for Afrocentric alternatives. Using postcolonial, post-developmental, and post-structural theories, the authors advocate for a new direction of development that incorporates indigenous-Afrocentric alternatives"-- Provided by publisher.
