Dissatisfaction has matured in Africa and elsewhere around the fact that often, the dominant frameworks for interpreting the continent�s past are not rooted on the continent�s value system and philosophy. This creates knowledge that does not make sense especially to local communities. The big question therefore is can Africans develop theories that can contribute towards the interpretation of the African past, using their own experiences? Framed within a concept revision substrate, the collection of papers in this thought provoking volume argues for concept revision as a step towards decolonizing knowledge in the post-colony. The various papers powerfully expose that �cleansed� knowledge is not only locally relevant: it is also locally accessible and globally understandable.
