Epistemic Decolonization and the Liberty to tell African Stories by Africans

For far too long, the dominant narratives about Africa have concentrated on depicting the continent as broken, destitute, and corrupt. Unethical narratives about Africa often center the continent's deficits rather than its agency. Some narratives have gone as far as altering history to tell stories that fail to give voice to African realities.

The epistemic decolonization of African stories requires giving indigenous writers a space on notable platforms to tell true African stories. In this webinar, our guests will discuss the decolonization of narratives about Africa and how to ensure that more Africans are given room to share authentic African stories. What will it take to decolonize stories about Africa?
