African and non-African scholars alike still struggle to establish the idea of African humanity, in all its diversity, and to move Africa beyond its historical role as the foil to the West.\u003cbr\u003e As this book shows, Africa's decolonization is an ongoing process across a range of fronts, and intellectuals—both African and non-African—have significant roles to play in that process. The essays collected here examine issues such as representation and retrospection; the roles of intellectuals in the public sphere; and the fundamental question of how to decolonize African knowledges. African Intellectuals and Decolonization outlines ways in which intellectual practice can serve to de-link Africa from its global representation as a debased, subordinated, deviant, and inferior entity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eLesley Cowling,\u003c\/b\u003e University of the Witwatersrand\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNicholas M.
