Beskrivning
This book introduces Ali Mazrui’s 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 Mazrui’s 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 Mazrui’s 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 Mazrui’s vast body of work.

“Postcolonial Constructivism reignites the spirit of Pan-Africanism and draws attention to the myriad issues that Africa faces under globalization. The author’s exposition of Mazrui, his works, and philosophy leaves no doubt that in Ali Mazrui, Africa possessed a multifaceted scholar who shone bright in the world of academia. … Mazrui’s unique analysis and interdisciplinary blend makes for interesting reading.” (Edgar Githua, African Studies Quarterly, December 2023)“Postcolonial Constructivism: Mazrui’s Theory of Intercultural Relations, is … very welcome news. … A major contribution of this book is that it uniquely enriches the taxonomies of constructivism in IR. … this book is a must-read for those concerned with the alternative and reflexive analysis in IR, beyond Eurocentric approaches. … Adem’s book on Ali Mazrui has great potential for enriching the ontological and epistemological territories of scholarship both by introducing Mazrui as a formidable public intellectual and IR scholar.” (Selman Emre Gürbüz, Cambridge Review of International Affairs, May 9, 2022)
