Abstract

This chapter will acknowledge that efforts to enable the re-wakening of Africans so that we may live well are a response to the harsh reality that African being has been laid low under the deadening spell of coloniality. Coloniality reduces the ontological weight ascribed to the personhood of the colonised. In short, the colonised are violently dehumanised and thereby deculturalised. This is the context in which this chapter appeals to Maat and ubuntu as vital resources with which humanness and desirable modes of relationality may be re-imagined as we strive to overcome the vestigial harms of colonialism and apartheid. In a way that will handily obviate the need to elaborate on Maat and ubuntu more systematically, the chapter will argue that the call to an African Renaissance says we must take up our role as ancestors whose generational challenge is to hand down desirable legacies to those who follow us.
