Review Quotes: "This book builds a case for thinking and doing psychology differently in and for Africa. Its strength lies in the author's arguments on psychology as a colonial discipline and what it does as it is transported to the African continent."--Floretta Boonzaier, Associate Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Cape Town
