Reviews

""This book is part of an unstoppable tidal shift in the center of knowledge production's gravity from Eurocentrism. Mohammed convincingly illustrates that the world takes on intricate hues and shapes when processed from the lens of indigeneity--a powerful tool to transform Africa(ns).""--Sylvia Tamale ""author of Decolonization and Afro-Feminism""


""Drawing from lived experience in Northern Ghana, collectively co-produced knowledge, attention to the materiality of language, and a radical feminist subaltern analysis, Mohammed offers a bold intervention in how we should theorize mediated culture in the global capitalist and colonial present."" --Paula Chakravartty ""James Weldon Johnson Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University"" ""This book is part of an unstoppable tidal shift in the center of knowledge production's gravity from Eurocentrism.
