The Stellenbosch University Museum invites you to a virtual book launch and panel discussion of:

Afrocentric Turn in African Heritage Studies: Epistemology of Alterity

by Luvuyo M. Dondolo and Olusegun Morakinyo

This book is an eloquent essay on an important area of academic concern in post-apartheid South Africa. On two important counts, it affirms its ringing contemporaneity. The contention of this text through a critique of the theoretical and pedagogical orientation of the African Programme in Museum and Heritage Studies (APMHS) compared to dominant strands of technical training as definitive of African Heritage Studies (AHS) is that although the APMHS is progressive by being a practice of critical heritage studies, compared to these other strands, it is however not emancipatory and humanising of the being of Africans, because it is not decolonised given its Africanity orientation and Afrikological methodological deficits.

Date:                           Wednesday, 7 April 2021

Time:                          13:00
