Synopsis "The Kaleidoscope of Life: Essays on Identity and Indigenous Knowledge Systems."

"At this time and age, we all are aware of this plunder which did not only end with natural resources, livestock and people who were either turned into slaves or also ravished; the indigenous knowledge systems were either appropriated or completely destroyed. The Western epistemology, in the form of religion and education, found the 'natives' not only le indigent but almost reduced to nothing. A er they had been stripped of everything they had, in the form of both the infrastructure and cosmology, mostly practiced in the form of specialized artwork and supernatural invocations, di erent forms of Western inculturation were implanted..."...The author himself, having been a victim of this furious but passive inculturation engages the silent harbingers of this epistemology and thus deliberate lies about Africa. Today, Africa needs to not only li the veil but to rip it o in its quest for decolonialization. Xhegwana's voice, in its own ways and manners, emulates and thus adds to the clarion call of decentering from Western knowledge/s; that of Sol Plaatjie, S.E.K. Mqhayi, Mongane Wally Serote, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Captain Ibrahim Traore, and many other heroes stirring the African renaissance." - Andrew Maina
