PROGRAM
About the Series
Series editors: Kwesi Yankah Fred Hendricks
The African Humanities Series is a partnership
between Unisa Press and the African Humanities
Program of the American Council of Learned
Societies. The African Humanities Series covers
topics in African histories, languages, literatures,
and cultures. Submissions are solicited from
Fellows of the African Humanities Program
(AHP), which is administered by the American
Council of Learned Societies and financially
supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New
York.
The purpose of the AHP is to encourage
and enable production of new knowledge by
Africans in the five countries designated by
Carnegie Corporation: Ghana, Nigeria, South
Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda. AHP fellowships
support one year s work free from teaching
and other responsibilities to allow the Fellow to
complete the project proposed.
Successfully completed manuscripts are
submitted to the AHP editorial board, which
chooses manuscripts to be forwarded to
UNISA Press. In some cases, the AHP board
will commission substantive editing and/or re-
organisation of manuscripts.
The African Humanities Series aims to publish
works of the highest quality that will foreground
the best research being done by emerging
scholars (within five years of receiving their
Ph.D. degree, which is the AHP s eligibility
requirement). The rigorous selection process
before the fellowship award, as well as AHP
editorial vetting of manuscripts, assures
attention to quality. Books in the series are
intended to speak to scholars in Africa as well as
in other world areas.
The AHP is also committed to providing a
copy of each publication in the series to every
university library in Africa.

intellectual heritage. He has published widely

Dialogue as the Negation of Hegemony: An
African Perspective , and The Question of Re-
centering Africa: Thoughts and Issues from

African Journal of Philosophy.

AFRICAIN HUMANITIES SERIES
Some of the most provocative questions confronting philosophers
in Africa are grounded in the historical memory of conquest and
the peripheralisation the continent. Mungwini offers a critical
reconstruction of indigenous Shona philosophy as an aspect of the
African intellectual heritage held hostage by colonial modernity. In this
comprehensive work, he lays bare the thoughts of the Shona, who are
credited with the founding of the ancient Great Zimbabwe civilisation.
Retracing the epistemic thread in the fabric of Shona culture and
philosophy, he explores the assumptions that inform their thinking. The
exchange of such knowledge is fundamental to the future of humanity.
