Politics and Decolonization in Africa: Theoretical Pointers and a Preamble

These topics are connected to questions of the knowledge curriculum and knowledge production. The introduction to this special issue, entitled "Politics and Decolonization in Africa," provides a theoretical primer for, and summarizes, four articles focusing on and engaging with these topics.
