Centring Africana Voices in Contemporary Publishing
In this brief presentation, I offer a few reflections on what it entails to move beyond rhetoric with respect to decolonising publishing in Africa. As I see it, we are doing, not just talking about defiant scholarship and publishing. We understand decolonising within the context of our work as defying and dismantling the norms, assumptions and gate-keeping practices that have historically shaped who and what gets published.
