Zubairu Wai

In a thought-provoking conversation, Professor Zubairu Wai, an expert in African thought and modernity, dives into the implications of coloniality and decolonization. He challenges the fixation on 1492, advocating for a broader view that includes Africa's rich contributions. Wai discusses how modernity shaped colonial hierarchies and the interaction between power and knowledge. He examines the significance of Marxism adapted for African contexts and urges a rejuvenation of pan-Africanism. Ultimately, he calls for acknowledging Africa's creative centrality in global discussions.
