Building Blocks Towards an African Century: Essays in Honour of Thabo Mbeki Former President of the Republic of South Africa

By Mahmood MamdaniPeter LawrenceElias K. Bongmba, et al.

In 2012 the University of South Africa, in partnership with the Thabo Foundation, hosted African intellectuals at a colloquium themed 'Mbeki@70'. The essays presented there were collected and edited into this book. The Colloquium sought to address the matter of Afrocentricity in the process of knowledge production as a means of responding to Africa's challenges rather than positioning Africans as simply the consumers of pre-packaged information from elsewhere and not Africa.
