Eze\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMICHAEL ONYEBUCHI EZE is a Research Fellow at the Kulurwissenschatliches Institut, Essen, Germany and the Editor-in-Chief of \u003ci\u003eThe African Communitarian: A Journal of African Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.3 x 5.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 18, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47454437048498,"sku":"9780230622999","price":89.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/9d749d78067cf82f08d2ca09decbf94e.webp?v=1778850882","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/intellectual-history-in-contemporary-south-africa-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
