This interdisciplinary edited collection delves deep into the philosophical, cultural, and political dimensions of Fela Kuti's work, examining his impact as not just a musical icon, but as a philosopher and champion of African indigenous knowledge systems.
Through 18 chapters organized in three sections — Felasophy, Indigenous Knowledges and Culture, and Local and Global Politics, the authors discuss: Fela's decolonial philosophy ("Felasophy") as a framework for understanding resistance in postcolonial Africa; the intersection of music, spirituality, and indigenous knowledge in African cultural expression; African epistemologies in debates on development, gender, and environmental ethics.
Fela Kuti and African Indigenous Knowledges, Politics, and Culture will be of interest to scholars, students, and enthusiasts interested in History, African studies, Political Ecology, Indigenous Knowledge studies.
Gloria Emeagwali is Professor of History and African Studies at Central Connecticut State University.
