Liberatory Practices for Learning

Abstract

This chapter will look at the “Circle” and “Ubuntu” as African cultural practices that exemplify an integrated system of human thought and action. African-centered pedagogy will also be discussed to demonstrate how African cultural practices can direct learning toward liberation. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the contemporary relevance of cultural nationalism.
