Overview
- A major contention in the book is that African excellence should be measured against its own uniqueness as universities in Africa exhibit competitive knowledge processes on a global scale without losing the critical international dimensions
- The book holds that decolonisation as change of ways and sources of knowing is a critical epistemological concern for the future of the university in Africa
- The book suggests that knowledge for public good should be at the epicentre of the decolonised curriculum in the African university
