Abstract

In each chapter, ubuntu and Afrocentricity was used to interpret and discuss inclusive education by using African concepts linked to African cultures without an alternative to Western approaches and frameworks. The book provides exclusive insight into the way relationships between inclusive education and African epistemology can jell well towards the construction of knowledge and understanding that promote local knowledge in tackling “inclusive education” in the African environment. Although the book acknowledges that calls for Africanising the entire education system are not new, less focus was paid to inclusive education. The book confirmed that the study of inclusive education has developed and been controlled by the Western philosophers as part of agenda to control knowledge generation by ignoring African indigenous knowledge systems to understand wholistically education dynamics.
