Africanity and Ubuntu as Decolonizing Discourse Summary

Africanity and Ubuntu as Decolonizing Discourse by Otrude Nontobeko Moyo

This book explores and discusses emerging perspectives of Ubuntu from the vantage point of ordinary people and connects it to human rights and decolonizing discourses. It engages a decolonizing perspective in writing about Ubuntu as an indigenous concept. The fore grounding argument is that one's positionality speaks to particular interests that may continue to sustain oppressions instead of confronting and dismantling them. Therefore, a decolonial approach to writing indigenous experiences begins with transparency about the researcher's own positionality. The emerging perspectives of this volume are contextual, highlighting the need for a critical reading for emerging, transformative and alternative visions in human relations and social structures.
