Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò writes that “we should rid ourselves of decolonisation” because “it is seriously harming scholarship in and on Africa” and he addresses his book ‘Against Decolonisation – Taking African Agency Seriously’ to people who are still unsure about the worth of what he calls the “decolonising trope”.
Born in Nigeria, Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò is Professor of African Political Thought at Cornell University in the United States and is Chair of their ‘Africana Studies and Research Center’.
