We’re proud to announce Africa Today’s latest special issue, “Belonging and Returning to the African Community: Critical Perspectives,” guest-edited by Jonathan O. Chimakonam.
This issue brings together five research articles that explore what it means to belong and return to the African community, not just as a place, but as a metaphysical, ethical, and cultural journey. Contributors examine African philosophy, decoloniality, interculturality, migration, ubuntu, and the return of African artifacts, offering new frameworks for understanding identity, solidarity, and community in contemporary Africa.
🔍 Highlights include:
Philosophical reflections on the authentic African community
Analyses of colonial disruption, Afrophobia, and migration ethics
A debate on the restitution of African arts and artifacts
The issue also includes two book reviews.
