This book confronts one of the most urgent and enduring challenges of our time: decolonisation in Africa. It makes an audacious and unapologetic argument: that strategic areas across the continent remain deeply mired in neo-colonialism, thereby rendering decolonisation an unfinished business. Through perceptive chapters written by distinguished African scholars and intellectuals, this volume interrogates the systemic barriers to Africa's self-determination and sovereignty. The book delves into four critical areas still facing colonial entanglement. It exposes persistent Eurocentric epistemic frameworks embedded in education systems, critiques political systems rooted in colonial governance which often fail to reflect the aspirations of African societies, and dissects exploitative economic structures designed to perpetuate dependency and inequality. Equally, it explores cultural
identity and heritage, confronting the erasure and distortion of Africa's rich narratives, while championing alternative models grounded in African traditions and priorities. More than a critique, the volume offers a visionary blueprint for transforming these systems and reclaiming Africa's agency in defining its destiny. Richly theoretical yet accessible, it challenges readers to fundamentally rethink Africa's position in the global order and envision a future unburdened by the shadows of its colonial past. This is an essential resource for scholars in African Studies, Global Studies, Social Anthropology, Development Studies, and Economics, as well as for all those who seek to understand and contribute to the ongoing liberation of Africa toward a fully decolonised continent.
