AfricAvenir

Founded by Kum'a Ndumbe III AfricAvenir articulates the following, "...We believe that a sustainable development of the African continent is unthinkable outside the culture, the language, the history of the African masses – outside the institutions which the people build according to their own needs and which they control internally. AfricAvenir therefore actively participates in the ‘insurrection of subjugated knowledges’ (Foucault), meaning the emancipation and reactivation of local, popular and traditional knowledges. This is not in the least a call for a mere and uncritical return to a mythical past or for the restoration of a historically continuous and allegedly pure pre-colonial heritage, but rather a quest for realism, adequacy and relevance..."
