It is obvious that these Western methodologies have done relatively little good for Africans. To rectify this oversight and bring these African communities to the fore, a shift in perspective is needed, and this book posits the adoption of alternative, African-centered research methodologies as a solution. Employing such methodologies would enable African communities to define their unique identities from their unique perspectives and would help offer a long-overdue challenge to entrenched European paradigms of Africans as the “other.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo enable readers to apply a methodology systematically in investigating a phenomenon of interest to him\/her, chapters in \u003ci\u003eAfrican-Centered Research Methodologies\u003c\/i\u003e include: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn introduction to the method discussed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA definition of the method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe sub-areas of the method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA brief history and brief backgrounds of the pioneers of the method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMajor research questions investigated by the method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMajor concepts and\/or theories of the method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMajor research topics covered by the method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTypes of methodological approaches employed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMajor academic journals and publications that publish works utilizing the method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA sample of outstanding scholarly works that have employed the method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA conclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cognella, Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771265122647,"sku":"9781609270865","price":90.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781609270865.jpg?v=1758727000","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/african-centered-research-methodologies-from-ancient-times-to-the-present-9781609270865","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
