Abstract	In the beginning -- Black theorizing : towards a broader intellectual and political project of our time -- Framing the 'anti-colonial' for "Blackcentricity" -- "Black Lives Matter" too : finding my Black African voice -- Indigeneity, decoloniality and the anti-colonial paradigms : convergences, divergences and synergies -- One view of social justice education : where does race, indigeneity and anti-colonial praxis sit? -- Teaching African history to fight anti-Black racism -- The intersections and interstices of anti-colonial solidarities -- The Black scholar and academic mentorship -- Concluding thoughts and the ugly face of a new 'diversity play' by conservatives. "This book draws inspiration for my scholarship on race, anti-Blackness, Indigeneity and anti-colonial studies to offer the personal travelogue of a Black scholar in academia. I reflect on how I came to a critical consciousness about critical issues of race, anti-Black racism, and anti-colonial studies in the 1980s. The intersecting theme of Black scholars' responsibility for advancing a path of Blackcentricity wedded in Black and African Indigeneities to address global anti-Black racism and anti-Blackness is an important intellectual pursuit. In the struggle for true liberation, our work for social justice, equity, decolonization and the anti-colonial end is only possible if we embrace critical solidarity through Indigenous resistance and community building. We must all be part of an on-going struggle; those of us with the privilege of being familiar with history have a responsibility to mentor and be mentored by our young colleagues as a nurturing of the power of knowledge"--Provided by publisher.
