Title: Coafrwology: A Pan-African Science

Author: Mpeke-Ntonga Metila Me Nyodi

Genre: Theoretical Essay – African Epistemology, Political and Social Pan-African Philosophy

Description of the Book:

Coafrwology: A Pan-African Science is a foundational work that lays out the conceptual, methodological, and historical basis of Coafrwology, defined as a science of the worldview of Africans and African descendants. This text clearly asserts that epistemological liberation is a necessary condition for any form of political, cultural, economic, or social liberation for African peoples.

In this essay, the author makes a radical break with Western paradigms in the human and social sciences, proposing instead a new scientific path rooted in African ontology, Black collective memory, and global diasporic consciousness.

What is Coafrwology?

Coafrwology is introduced as a Pan-African, cross-disciplinary, and strategic field born out of the urgent need to understand the world from the realities, values, histories, and aspirations of African peoples. It is a science of the existential condition of Africans and African descendants in the world (CEADA), with the mission of building a shared framework for understanding, mobilization, and social transformation.

The author emphasizes the vital necessity of refounding African thought, as a way out of intellectual domination, alienation, and dependency.

Main Themes Explored in the Book:

• Epistemology of Coafrwology:

  • A critique of Western universalism and intellectual colonialism.

  • An affirmation of the plurality of human rationalities.

  • A valorization of African sources of knowledge (oral, spiritual, communal).

• Coafrwology as a Transnational Science:

  • Integration of African experiences from both the continent and the diaspora.

  • Dialogue between African descendants in the Americas, Europe, the Caribbean, and Africa.

• Core Objectives:

  • Decolonize thought, sciences, and institutions.

  • Forge a conceptual language rooted in Africa and its diaspora.

  • Rethink categories of identity, history, power, and community.

• Political and Educational Reach:

  • Construction of a critical Pan-African pedagogy.

  • Call for the emergence of Coafrwological institutions.

  • Mobilization of African intellectuals in a unified effort.

What the Author Proposes:

• A liberating science centered on the memory, consciousness, and future of Black peoples.

• An African epistemological framework, free from colonial categories.

• A theoretical infrastructure for 21st-century Pan-Africanism, where science, spirituality, politics, and culture converge in a collective resilience.

Intended Audience:

• Researchers and students in the human and social sciences engaged in the decolonization of knowledge.

• Pan-African activists, educators, critical thinkers, and engaged artists.

• African institutions, alternative universities, and schools of African thought.

Conclusion:

This book does not simply offer a new theory: it calls for an intellectual and civilizational revolution, where Africa thinks and envisions the world from its own historical journeys and contemporary struggles.
Coafrwology is revealed as a science for cognitive autonomy, global Afro-descendant solidarity, and the rebirth of a universal Black consciousness.
