Decolonising Research examines the effectiveness of indigenous research methodologies for studying Africa while also examining their effectiveness for generating relevant knowledge and practical research outcomes for community/national problem-solving.



Decolonising Research examines the effectiveness of indigenous research methodologies for studying Africa while also examining their effectiveness for generating relevant knowledge and practical research outcomes for community/national problem-solving.

Considering theories of empowerment and social justice, researching indigenous communities required participatory and collaborative methodologies, this book fills research methodological gaps and offers a Sub-Saharan African lens to the research of South Sudan, Northern Uganda, Kenya/Somalia, Somaliland, Botswana, Nigeria and Ghana. It does this by identifying and discussing the “How”, “What” and “Why” of these methodologies as they pertain to themes of indigeneity, silence, ethics, ceremony, botho, joking relationship, orality, divinations, and Sub-Sahara Africa.

This book includes contributions from early career academics, academic practitioners who are all emerging as leading experts in their field. It will be of broader interest to postgraduate students, international agencies/personnel, governments, and policy-makers conducting ethnographic or contextual/participatory research and research implementation.
