World Looks Like This from Here

"A situatedness in psychology, in African societies and in the world at large. African psychology is a psychology for Africa and Africans that does not exoticise, that disalienates even while centring itself in the world. What I seek to convey in the book is the idea that to be authentic and have a meaningful life as a student of psychology in Africa, a counsellor, or a teacher of psychology, and still be at home in Africa - not only because you may be made to lose the original language of your dreams - you will have to always remind yourself to see with your own eyes, remind yourself that you are entitled to being in the world. That way of looking and seeing and acting comes from challenging the Euroamerican traditions, concepts, approaches are findings that engulf psychology in Africa, into which we, in Africa, are hailed as psychology students, teachers, therapists and researchers." -- page xiii
