In Conversation with Dr. Chika Esiobu.

“I don’t see indigenous communities as some esoteric kind of people who should be housed in enclosures for travelers to see. They should live in their normal environment, and if someone wants to visit, it should be like going to New York or Paris.”

From old plants and old ways, a new African agriculture.

“But it’s still hard to convince African governments and foreign agencies about the value of Indigenous knowledge. While Rwandans are proud of their heritage, they’re also eager to industrialize. And they fear that embracing homegrown technologies will take their country backward, says Ezeanya Esiobu.”

Power is Knowledge:
Dr Chika Ezeanya Esiobu on the relationship between ideas and power.

“There is no universal knowledge. All though there may be some truth that may be universal, the pathways to arriving at that place is not universal. If there is a process that works in Kenya or South Africa, it does not mean it will work in other parts of the world.”
