Chapter. 1. Introduction -- Chapter. 2. Epistemicide' and Epistemic Emancipation in Africa - Problems and Promises -- Chapter. 3. Knowledge production and the Liberation agenda in Africa -- Chapter. 4. Decolonisation as self-recovery: the path to intellectual independence -- Chapter. 5. Colonial legacy and knowledge production in Africa: Re-echoing the need for epistemic decolonisation -- Chapter. 6. A critical exposition of 'alternative' site(s) of knowledge production in Africa: Decentering the African university -- Chapter. 7. African Epistemic liberation through knowledge democratisation -- Chapter. 8. How African Logic can dissipate the Question of Originality and Knowledge Production in Africa -- Chapter. 9. Africanising Institutional Culture: What Is Possible and Plausible -- Chapter. 10. 'Africa's Knowledge and the Quest for Epistemic Liberation in a COVID-19 Crisis -- Chapter. 11. Religiosity and African Epistemology -- Chapter. 12. Ukama ethic and Covid-19 pandemic: Countervailing social distancing-induced exclusive individualism in (southern) African university -- Chapter. 13. African Indigenous Knowledge and the management of COVID-19 pandemic -- Chapter. 14. African Knowledge Systems: Shona Paremiology in Promoting Morals, Peace and Human Security -- Chapter. 15. A Yòrùbá Worldview on the Compatibility of Human and Nonhuman Animal Relations (HAR) with Environmental Sustainability.

This book shows the importance of knowledge production using requisite terms and frameworks to the broader scheme of epistemic liberation in Africa. The text considers what this veritable direction to knowledge production would mean to other areas of concern in African philosophy such as morality, education and the environment. These contributions are important because the success of decolonising projects in African countries depend upon the methods that underpin envisioned liberative knowledge production in light of Africa's historical and present condition. This volume appeals to students and researchers working in epistemology and African philosophy.
