African cultures and politics remain significantly affected by precolonial and postcolonial configurations of modernity, as well as hegemonic global systems. This project explores Africa's conversation with itself and the rest of the world, critiquing universalist notions of democratization.

Sanya Osha holds a PhD in Philosophy and has published extensively on anthropology, cultural studies, knowledge systems of Africa, the politics of the West African region, and the sociopolitical and cultural realities of Southern Africa. He joined the Institute for Economic Research on Innovation (IERI), Tshwane University of Technology as a research fellow in 2009.
