Description: This book historicizes and contextualizes 'Unbuntu,' a type of discourse that has attempted to free itself from dogmatism and polemics. It offers a model for a redefinition of the overall intellectual history of Africa, through Unbuntu, that will integrate and contextualize the socio-political and cultural ideas of the continent.
Synopsis: In examining the intellectual history in contemporary South Africa, Eze engages with the emergence of ubuntu as one discourse that has become a mirror and aftermath of South Africa s overall historical narrative. This book interrogates a triple socio-political representation of ubuntu as a displacement narrative for South Africa s colonial consciousness; as offering a new national imaginary through its inclusive consciousness, in which different, competing, and often antagonistic memories and histories are accommodated; and as offering a historicity in which the past is transformed as a symbol of hope for the present and the future. This book offers a model for African intellectual history indignant to polemics but constitutive of creative historicism and healthy humanism.
