About this book
This book offers a critical pathway to decolonizing research space for students and supervisors across academic disciplines. Framed by a multi-disciplinary, anti-Eurocentric perspective, it thoroughly interrogates the decades of Western hegemony that have wrongly framed research as a monolithic, complex, and exclusive academic ritual. Moving beyond justified frustration over the delegitimization of non-Western knowledge, the volume makes an essential contribution by correcting Western-biased misinterpretations of conventional research. Without discarding universal research principles, the book exposes the shortcomings of the Eurocentric view and proposes a novel, modest, and powerful Ubuntu/Unhu-inspired narrative: that research is fundamentally a daily act of problem-solving, rooted in context-specific epistemologies dedicated to human needs. The book's unique value lies in challenging Western dominance while providing a practical, context- based guide for mentors and mentees in all academic milieus. It serves as an important, timely addition to the contemporary research discourse taking center stage in progressive institutions worldwide, making it apt for practitioners and students in African, Global, Comparative, and multi-disciplinary studies.
