Abstract
Indigenous African traditional practices provide a significant foundation for challenging the legacy of colonialism and fostering the reclamation of cultural identities. This chapter explores the critical role of indigenous African traditional practices in fostering cultural and intellectual revitalization while actively engaging in the process of decolonization. By examining the rich heritage of indigenous African traditions, this chapter argues that these practices offer valuable insights and pathways towards reclaiming cultural identities, challenging dominant colonial narratives, and decolonizing intellectual frameworks within African societies. Drawing on multidisciplinary perspectives from anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, and postcolonial theory, this chapter proposes a comprehensive framework for assessing the transformative potential of indigenous African traditions in cultural and intellectual revitalization.
