This interview is part of a larger project of seminars to be held between Goma and Nairobi in 2019. It focuses on intellectuals from Africa and the diaspora who criticise the ways of thinking and studying Africa. After a first session bringing together scholars in Goma in June, Ngugi wa Thiong'o explains his thoughts on the decolonization of knowledge and the promotion of an "African thinking" on Africa.
