The Complex Interplay between Power, Politics, and African Agency: The Philosophy of Toyin Falola by Serges Djoyou Kamga examines the experience of colonialism, using Falola’s works as a guiding point, to understand the evolutionary character of African political culture that emerged at the ascent of the colonial powers. This book offers a unique perspective on the intricate dynamics of African society, providing a deeper understanding of the role of power and politics in shaping African culture. Kamga highlights the complex interplay between these elements and sheds light on the significance of African voices in shaping their own destiny. Using Falola’s contributing works, this book illuminates and critiques the Greek gifts offered by Europe, establishing the connection between the continued relationship between the ex-colonized African countries and their imperialist colonizers. This book is a must read for scholars of African studies, political science, and those interested in learning more about African history and culture.
Serges Djoyou Kamga is distinguished professor of human rights law and serves as the dean of the faculty of law at the University of the Free State.
