"Africanizing the School Curriculum offers insights into decolonizing education as a form of critical praxis, moving from theory to action. With strategies and solutions to achieving equitable and accessible education for all, this book would be beneficial for any teacher, equity liaison, school leader or researcher who believes in the transformative power of education, and in the fundamental right of all students to access, participate and benefit from all aspects of the educational experience." (Full review available at Education Review.)

“A profound, insightful and scholarly discourse on transforming and decolonizing colonial school contexts and curriculum that have continued to neglect the lived experiences, voices, histories and cultures of African educators and learners. Afful-Broni, Anamuah-Mensah, Raheem, and Dei have carefully compiled a volume that addresses and acknowledges that African voices and cultures matter in educational contexts. Their collection will be of interest to stakeholders interested in transforming and Africanizing school curriculum and school contexts.”

“Africanizing the School Curriculum is an outstanding work that impressively persuades us to shift the way we perceive, interact with, and locate African education and its curricular designs and outcomes. By insisting, in both its descriptive and analytical formats, on centering contemporary schooling, learning and related epistemologies, on the continent’s rich Indigenous contexts, this Reader distinguishes itself by concretely affirming the urgency of transformative curricular, policy and counter-racism possibilities. It is with this topical and temporal immediacy that Africanizing the curriculum represents the best current critical intervention in the area, and will surely benefit scholars, students and policymakers.”

“In the African worldview, education in all forms is a right but not a privilege. It is a natural way of life, a must happen and a must have—the way of life and socialization of our people. This work on Africanizing education is the solution to achieving sustainable education and development in its real sense. The human resource development and the unemployment issues that we face as a result of providing what I call an ‘artificial’ education does not fit into the natural life of the African. I can’t wait to see a full implementation of the solutions provided in this work. That way, there will be minimal if not zero, unemployment, and most critically, the potential of Africa and Africans will be unleashed as we become fully equipped in our own style to utilize the human and material resources that abound us.”
