Title: What Is African Psychology the Psychology of?
Abstract: Abstract This chapter raises some questions of interest to the effective understanding of the orienting stimulus, meaning, and scope of the new postcolonial discipline of African psychology. What foundational influences precipitated the emergence of African psychology as an academic subject field? How can the delayed arrival of African psychology in African universities be explained? What is a postcolonial theory of African psychology? What constitutes the major phases in the evolution of African psychology? In what ways can African psychology be defined and conceptualized? What are the principal goals of African psychology as a postcolonial discipline? What key topics does African psychology teach? On what ontological foundations and cosmovision is African psychology grounded? And, what is African in African psychology? The chapter concludes with the observation that African psychology represents a justly bold attempt to create a new way of approaching the decolonial study of the psychology of Africans.
