    Book description

    Sauti! (Swahili for ‘Voice!’) is a new note in the call for Africa to extricate itself from its colonial past and create a unique identity in consonance with its own culture. In these pages, Matoane Mamabolo makes a cultural and spiritual journey enquiring into the future of the African continent, a journey that will resonate with scholars, politicians and thinking people, both Africans and non-Africans. Well researched and written, this study is detailed, meticulous, challenging, informative, and thought provoking. Its focus is on creating a framework in which Africans can grapple spiritually and intellectually with questions relating to their beliefs and hopes – and in ways that are intelligible to Africans and relevant to their social-cultural contexts. In a thorough review of the more serious contemporary social, religious and cultural problems that the continent is facing, the author analyses the challenges facing Africa in an interesting new way, and provides suggestions for successful decolonisation, as well as reflecting on the status of African ideas in a globalised world. This study will prove useful as a reference and handbook for students and lecturers of African Renaissance studies, politics, theology, African philosophy and the social sciences.
