Africanity and Ubuntu as Decolonizing Discourse[electronic resource] /by Otrude Nontobeko Moyo. - 1st ed. 2021. - XI, 226 p. 12 illus., 11 illus. in color.online resource. - Human Rights Interventions. - Human Rights Interventions.

Chapter 1. Introduction: Situating Ubuntu Outside the Power of Coloniality -- Chapter 2. Unpacking Public Discourses of Ubuntu: A Decoloniality Approach -- Chapter 3. Changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves: Diverse Realities and Perspectives on Ubuntu in Eastern Cape, South Africa -- Chapter 4. Performing Africanity: Southern African Immigrants’ Perspectives on Ubuntu -- Chapter 5. Africanity and Decolonizing Discourses: Ubuntu Emerging Perspectives .

This book explores and discusses emerging perspectives of Ubuntu from the vantage point of “ordinary” people and connects it to human rights and decolonizing discourses. It engages a decolonizing perspective in writing about Ubuntu as an indigenous concept. The fore grounding argument is that one’s positionality speaks to particular interests that may continue to sustain oppressions instead of confronting and dismantling them. Therefore, a decolonial approach to writing indigenous experiences begins with transparency about the researcher’s own positionality. The emerging perspectives of this volume are contextual, highlighting the need for a critical reading for emerging, transformative and alternative visions in human relations and social structures. Otrude Nontobeko Moyo is a Social Work Professor & Program Director at Indiana University – South Bend, USA.
