Books by Sam O. Imbo

Ugandan poet and cultural critic Okot p'Bitek's work engages with the oral traditions of his people, seeing them as manifestations of the people's philosophy of life. This text places the philosophical questions raised in Okot's work, within the picture of contemporary African philosophy.

An invaluable introduction to this dynamic and growing area of study, Imbo's book synthesizes the ideas of key African philosophers into an accessible narrative. By making cross-disciplinary and transnational connections, Imbo stakes out an important place for African philosophy.
