AKP Newsletter 20: New Issue
A Dialogue with African and Africana Philosophers
August 28, 2017

Dear Friends and Supporters of AKP,
The peer-reviewed Journal on African Philosophy recently published a special-issue that heralds a new series. Issue 14, “A Dialogue with African and Africana Philosophers” is guest-edited by Azuka Nzegwu, PhD, the Managing Editor of Africa Knowledge Project (AKP).
This special-issue is the inaugural issue of the series that will engage scholars in African and Africana philosophy. The series celebrates their achievements by highlighting who they are, what their views are on their philosophy, their areas of research, scholarship, and life. To read these intriguing interviews, you need a subscription to the journal. If you are not yet a subscriber to Journal on African Philosophy, please make sure to do so now. Subscribing opens the doors to these interviews and to all the research the journal has published.
Professor Kathryn T. Gines pointed out eloquently in her interview a fact about Africana philosophy that also extends to African philosophy. She says:
“There are many philosophy departments in the US that have no interest or intention of ever engaging or taking seriously Africana Philosophy. In these spaces it is difficult to be a part of the epistemological framework of philosophy. But there are increasingly more spaces in which Africana Philosophy is taught and taken seriously. It is important to support and continue to cultivate the spaces where this is happening.” -- Kathryn T. Gines
We completely agree. While Journal on African Philosophy is not a department, the journal is a space where scholarly and critical engagement on African and Africana philosophy is occurring, and new types of knowledge is being created and published, along with new formats. That alone is very exciting and worth your support.
This issue will be a great asset to anyone teaching philosophy, feminism, race, politics, and to anyone whose research is intra, inter and multidisciplinary.
