African Affairs

"The Postcolonial Turn is insightful and valuable reading for scholars and advanced students of anthropological, and more generally social scientific, engagements with Africa... This volume will provocatively engage the most seasoned Africanists. It will also be a valuable learning tool for advanced students of Africa who want to understand how African scholarship has significantly broadened the perspectives of anthropology. The Postcolonial Turn also compels us to be more reflexive, to account for both intercultural and intra-cultural variation and conflict, and for local systems of knowledge production in ways that complement and expand on understandings of the human condition and shape our models of both knowledge and consciousness."
