This thought-provoking book outlines the pedagogical value of African storytelling. It demonstrates that African wisdom has historically been part of violent colonial elimination, leading to the ontological expendability of these stories and them being excluded, forgotten, and devalued in academic circles.
George Dei, Dionisio Nyaga and Juliana Kami critically examine the industrialisation of knowledge and the fallacy of a singular epistemological truth. Using key examples and case studies, they represent storytelling as a necessary and ethical methodology of knowledge production. Chapters delineate how, in light of global expansion and transnational movement, formerly subjugated stories from across the continent are breaking boundaries beyond the colonial confinement of Africa. In doing so, the global education system is learning from African Indigenous education and departing from the Eurocentric belief that truth is singular. This inspiring book illustrates the multiple truths that are told through everyday African riddles, proverbs, teachings and songs in ways that give credence to African realities and values in a global village.
Innovative and incisive, African Storytelling for Global Citizenship Education is an essential read for students and scholars at the intersection of educational philosophy, development and postcolonial studies. Teachers and professionals in policy and citizenship education will also benefit from its valuable insights.
