Toyin Falola and African Epistemologies [electronic resource] /
Bangura, A.author.
While there are five important festschriften on Toyin Falola and his work, this book fulfills the need for a single-authored volume that can be useful as a textbook. I develop clearly articulated rubrics and overarching concepts as the foundational basis for analyzing Falola's work.
Description based upon print version of record.
