Review Quotes: "Amidst ongoing debates around "decolonizing" academic disciplines--debates that have often remained focused on and in the Global North--African Studies Now offers a timely and critical intervention. Across an impressive range of disciplines (history, anthropology, philosophy, political science), this volume recentres African perspectives, rethinks approaches, and refreshes our conceptual vocabularies. Above all, the contributions assembled here assert Francophone Africa as a vibrant site of intellectual and cultural production: that is, where some of the most important and exciting conversations in African Studies are happening, right now." --Doyle D. Calhoun, University of Cambridge, UK
