We Will Tell Our Own Story: The Lions of Africa Speak
Description
We Will Tell Our Own Story: The Lions of Africa Speak brings together distinguished African and Africa-centered scholars to articulate an uncompromising vision of African knowledge production grounded in cultural authority, intellectual sovereignty, and disciplinary excellence.
Across thirteen chapters, contributors examine how African epistemologies reshape political science, education, psychology, media studies, philosophy, and cultural analysis. Rather than responding to external frameworks, the volume advances African-centered theories that emerge from lived histories, indigenous knowledge systems, and continental realities.
The book intervenes directly in longstanding academic imbalances by demonstrating that Africa is not a peripheral site of interpretation but a foundational source of theory, method, and insight. Contributors interrogate how knowledge has been structured, circulated, and legitimized globally—and how African scholars reclaim authorship over meaning, methodology, and narrative direction.
Designed for advanced students, faculty, and researchers, We Will Tell Our Own Story functions as both a core text and a methodological guide. It equips readers with frameworks that expand disciplinary boundaries while modeling rigorous, culturally grounded scholarship.
This volume affirms Universal Write Publications’ commitment to advancing Black and African intellectual leadership within the global academy.
Readers will learn how:
- Black people of the African Diaspora have a story that transcends Eurocentric teachings and ideology.
- The intricate knowledge of history, physical, and social sciences are rich in the scholarship of Black educators.
- To navigate the spaces of socio-political concepts by shedding new light and thinking strategy.
- The stories are different when the lions are not the victims but can display agency in the hunt and hunted.
