Epistemic Freedom in Africa is about the struggle for African people to think, theorise, interpret the world and write from where they are located, unencumbered by Eurocentrism. Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni argues the need to globalise knowledge from Africa, and to centre Africa as a legitimate epistemic site from which to interpret the world.

Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni is Executive Director of the Change Management Unit (CMU) in the Principal and Vice-Chancellor's office at the University of South Africa (UNISA), and Professor of African Political Economy at the Thabo Mbeki African Leadership Institute (TMALI) at the same institution. Previously, he headed the Archie Mafeje Research Institute for Applied Social Policy (AMRI). He is the author of 14 books, including Coloniality of Power in Postcolonial Africa: Myths of Decolonization (2013), Empire, Global Coloniality and African Subjectivity (2013) and most recently The Decolonial Mandela: Peace, Justice and the Politics of Life (2016).
