This book introduces Ali Mazruis delightfully stimulating scholarship about intercultural relations, calling it Postcolonial Constructivism, and shares elements of his intellectual vitality in an original way. It begins with a chronicle of Mazruis eventful, sixty-year journey as a scholar of International Relations. It then proceeds to present some of the most remarkable yet least remarked up on features of his intellectualism, including his paradoxes, his perceptive typologies, his neologisms as well as his interactions with historical figures. The book draws on materials which were either unavailable until now or were found scattered in time and space. Designed as an invitation to a wider audience to the supermarket of Mazruis ideas, this book also seeks to underscore the timeliness and possible durability of many of his observations about intercultural relations. Thorough, comprehensive and up-to-date, this book is a concise account of the core of Mazruis vast body of work. Seifudein Adem is Professor of Global Studies, Doshisha University, Japan, and Research Associate at the Ali Mazrui Center for Higher Education Studies, University of Johannesburg, South Africa. Previously he was Associate Director of the Institute of Global Cultural Studies, Binghamton University, USA.
