Introduction to the Thought of Tubias Capaina, Vol. I

Introduction to the Thought of Tubias Capaina offers an in-depth and innovative analysis of the work of Mozambican intellectual Tubias Capaina, whose ideas challenge the traditional narratives of African historiography. This book explores Capaina's bold proposal for an African encyclopedia that refocuses historical knowledge from indigenous perspectives, with an emphasis on Mozambique and its cultural, political and epistemological dynamics. Thus, more than a historiographical study of Africa, this work discusses how Capaina's thinking reorients the writing of African history, overcoming colonial legacies and proposing new methodologies based on local knowledge. Combining philosophy, anthropology, sociology, history and post-colonial studies, the book is therefore an essential contribution for academics, students and those interested in decolonizing knowledge and reimagining the future of historiography in Africa.
