Recontextualizing Self & Other Issues In Africa is a collective meditation on a joint Symposium organized by Kyoto University (Kyoto, Japan) and Makerere University (Kampala, Uganda) in October 2007, under the sponsorship of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). Without committing these Institutions in any way, this book that includes a few of the works presented and discussed in sessions of the Symposium, respectfully and gratefully recognises the Sponsors.
