Since time immemorial, indigenous peoples around the world have dev՛
knowledge systems to ensure their continued survival in their resj
territories. These knowledge systems have always been dynamic such ՝
they could meet new challenges. Yet, since the so-called enlightenment peri·
these knowledges have been supplanted by the Western enlightenme
science or colonial science hegemony and arrogance such that in ma
cases they were relegated to the periphery. Some Euro-centric schola
even viewed indigenous knowledge as superstitious, irrational and anti-
development. This erroneous view has, since the colonial period, sprea
like veld fire to the extent of being internalised by some political elites an
Euro-centric academics of Africa and elsewhere. However, for some tim՛
now, the potential role that indigenous peoples and their knowledge can
play in addressing some of the global problems haunting humanity across
the world is increasingly emerging as part of international discourse. This
book presents an interesting and insightful discourse on the state and role
that indigenous knowledge can play in addressing a tapestry of pr-oblems of
the world and the challenges connected with the application of indigenous
knowledge in enlightenment science-dominated contexts. The book is not
only useful to academics and students in the fields of indigenous studies and
anthropology, but also those in other fields such as environmental science,
social and political ecology, development studies, policy studies, economic
history, and African studies.
