Sabelo Ndlovu-Gatsheni and African Decolonial Studies carries the stamp of an innovative work: it is the first to articulate the nexus of scholarship and politics as a vital charge in the hand of an individual scholar. Deploring his magisterial voice, Falola has offered us a solid book, an intellectual fortress to fully understand decoloniality.Serges Kamga, Dean of the Faculty of Law, University of the Free State, South AfricaIn this volume, Toyin Falola, the globally acclaimed doyen of African Studies, presents a critically thoughtful and well-researched book on decolonization and decoloniality, exploring the details and explaining their intricacies and nuances through the work of Ndlovu-Gathseni. Most importantly, Falola moves beyond Ndlovu-Gathseni's work to offer us the most expansive text and context on a subject that is now at the forefront of global scholarship. Wanjala S.
