      abstract = {This book offers a nuanced, realistic, thought-provoking,  and rich menu of ideas for addressing epistemic racism and  disrupting oppressive structures of knowledge creation and  mobilization. Thomas Kwasi Tieku, Kings University College,  University of Western Ontario, Canada. The theme and  collection constitute a timely and an impressive  cutting-edge contribution to both the theorizing and praxis  of epistemic agency. NDri T. Assi-Lumumba, Cornell  University, USA. This book makes a vigorous contribution to  the struggle for epistemic decolonisation from  Eurocentrism. It is daring yet still accessible. Read this  book and learn! Its a gift to us. Leon Moosavi, University  of Liverpool, UK Despite the long history of decolonization  as a third world political project, decolonization as an  intellectual project has gained tremendous momentum in  recent times, signalled by movements such as  #RhodesMustFall, #BlackInTheIvory, and Why Is My Curricula  So White among others. These movements situate the  coloniality of power within ongoing practices in academia  and seek to disrupt systemic racism and oppressive  structures of knowledge production and dissemination.  Assembling critical perspectives of scholars engaged in  African Studies and other cognate disciplines on the  continent and in the diaspora, the book elucidates and  fuses ideas together to produce nuanced pedagogical  advances in the service of students, academics, and  educators. It contributes ideas on how to navigate systems,  curricula, and academic contexts that have perpetuated a  colonial toxicity that undermines Black agency and  epistemic justice. This book will be of interest to  students, researchers, educational leaders and policy  makers across diverse disciplines interested in championing  a decolonial praxis in academic spaces and universities.
