📚✨ Africa Conversation Series Vol. 6 – Afromanie Book Launch ✨📚
Join us for a transformative afternoon with Mukadi Ilunga SJ, author of Afromanie: Essai d’études africaines. This bold and insightful book confronts the images imposed on Africa, both by outsiders and by Africans themselves.
📖Afromanie helps us understand the dominant intellectual currents in African philosophy today—decolonial thought, Afrocentricity, and beyond—while calling for a radical and honest rethinking of how Africa is imagined and represented.
