Against Decolonisation: On Africa's Place in the Global Circuit of Ideas

Professor Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò presents builds on the arguments in his latest book "Against Decolonisation: Taking African Agency Seriously", which provides an intellectual and moral critique of today’s decolonisation movement. He argues that 'decolonisation' has lost its way. Originally a struggle to escape the West’s direct political and economic control, it has become a catch-all idea, often for performing ‘morality’ or ‘authenticity’; it suffocates African thought and denies African agency. Now, he engages with critiques of his book and takes his arguments one step further, arguing for detailed engagement with African political thought on its own terms.
This thought-provoking lecture was hosted by the University of York Anticolonial Reading Group, with support from the Department of Politics and International Relations and the IGDC.
