1 Introduction: Alternative Epistemologies and the Imperative of an Afrocentric Mythology -- Part I Theories and Methodologies -- 2 Between Particularism and Universalism: The Promise of Epistemic Contextualism in African Epistemology -- 3 The Quest for Africanizing Qualitative Inquiry: A Pathway to Methodological Innovation -- 4 The State and the State of Knowledge Production in African Universities: Rethinking Identity and Curricula -- 5 Afrocentricity, African Agency and Knowledge System -- Part II Epistemological Practices -- 6 Cultural Environmentalism in Ogunyemi's Langbodo and Osofisan's Many Colours Make The Thunder-King -- 7 Security, Local Community, and the Democratic Political Culture in Africa -- 8 The "African Prints": Africa and Aesthetics in the Textile World -- 9 On the Search for Identity in African Architecture -- 10 Towards an Endogenous Interpretation of Polygamy and Gender Relations: A Critique of Lola Shoneyin's The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives -- 11 Religion, Patriarchal Construction and Gender Complementarity in Nigeria -- 12 Yoruba Traditional Instrumental Ensemble and Indigenous Knowledge Systems -- 13 Knowledge Production and Pedagogy Among the Islamic Scholars in Kano: A Case-Study of Shaykh Tijani Usman Zangon Bare-Bari (1916-1970)

This volume investigates alternative epistemological pathways by which knowledge production in Africa can proceed. The contributors, using different intellectual dynamics, explore the existing epistemological dominance of the West-from architecture to gender discourse, from environmental management to democratic governance-and offer distinct and unique arguments that challenge the denigration of the different and differing modes of knowing that the West considered "barbaric" and "primitive." This volume therefore constitutes a minimal gesture that further contributes to the ongoing discourse on alternative modes of knowing in Africa.
