520 |a "This book assembles lectures given by Pius Adesanmi that answer the questions: How may we conceptualize Africa in the driver's seat of her own destiny in the twenty-first century? How practically may her cultures become the foundation and driving force of her innovation, development, and growth in the age of the global knowledge economy? How may the Africanist disciplines in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences be revamped to rise up to these challenges through new imaginaries of intersectional reflection? His lecture delivery techniques combine with diction and borrowings from Nigerian popular culture to create a distinct African performative mode that ultimately becomes a form of resistance against Western ideals of knowledge transfer. Together, these short essays preserve the voice of an African writer lost too soon. Adesanmi urges his readers to commit themselves to Africa's cultural agency"--  |c Provided by publisher
