A rich and vibrant assessment of sociological traditions across the African continent, offering an assessment both of African sociological traditions and how these sociological traditions can approach global and national social problems. This book will force many social scientists out of their Eurocentric cocoons. -Ali Meghji, University of Cambridge, and Co-editor, British Journal of Sociology, UK. African Societies stands out as an exceptional addition to the field, providing a thoroughly researched investigation into African societies that is both extensive and enlightening. What distinguishes this work is its dedication to methodological variety and its thorough examination of modern challenges such as indigenisation and decolonisation within African sociology. -Nakanyike Musisi, University of Toronto, Canada. It is a groundbreaking exploration of the evolution of sociological knowledge production across the diverse tapestry of the African continent. With a refreshing focus on all 54 African countries, the nuanced articulation of issues sets this work apart, making it an indispensable addition to the field. -Simbarashe Gukurume, Sol Plaatje University, South Africa. This book addresses a notable gap in African sociological knowledge by leveraging extensive empirical data covering all 54 African countries and drawing on historical insights from across the continent. Offering a nuanced understanding of African society, it signifies an unprecedented endeavour committed to unravelling the intricate tapestry of African society. The analysis presented in the book goes into the dynamic evolution of sociological topics, their interconnections with African knowledge, the identification of contemporary themes, methodological diversity, and contemporary challenges and issues of indigenisation, decolonisation, and promoting an Africa-centered sociology. R. Sooryamoorthy is a Professor of Sociology at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. He is also a Research Fellow at the DSI-NRF Centre of Excellence in STI Policy, Stellenbosch University, South Africa.
