A case for rethinking institutional inheritance

Kelvin Jasi examines how colonial legacies continue to shape African institutions across education, governance, health, language, and economics. The book connects those inherited frameworks with questions of growth, identity, and independence, then turns toward rebuilding: its proposed direction draws on indigenous knowledge, cultural values, and self-reliance. The scope makes institutional change the central concern, linking policy and public systems to broader questions of who they serve and whose knowledge they reflect.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in African politics, public policy, and institutional history.
  • Readers exploring decolonization, indigenous knowledge, and cultural identity.
  • Readers seeking arguments and proposals about African self-reliance and institutional reform.

Book overview

Africa is free, but are its systems truly independent?

From education and governance to health, language, and economics, many African institutions still operate on frameworks inherited from colonial rule. These systems were never designed to serve African people, they were designed to control, extract, and reshape.

In Decolonize African Institutions, Kelvin Jasi exposes how these colonial legacies continue to influence modern Africa, limiting growth, identity, and true independence. More importantly, this book goes beyond critique. It offers a bold and practical vision for rebuilding African institutions rooted in indigenous knowledge, cultural values, and self-reliance. This is not just a book, it is a call to rethink, to reclaim, and to rebuild. If Africa is to rise, it must do so on its own terms.
