Reihe: Anti-colonial Educational Perspectives for Transformative Change

This book maintains that theories of tribalism are the benchmark for African political scientific knowledge. With a focus on Afrodemocracy, this volume presents Afro Tribalism as an approach to neotribalism. Gael Clavis Johnson argues on the question of Afrodemocracy through a review of black socio-political reasons and the introduction of a new model of leadership for Africans. The author posits that if Pan-Africanism wants groundbreaking change in Africa, then it should change the ideological grounds of which this content has identified pre-existing causes, thus mirroring steps towards new African political ideologies.
