Transmodern Cultures

edited by Eunice Fonyuy Fondze-Fombele

Border Epistemologies and the Co-Creation of Global Futures

Transmodern Cultures is a timely and compelling scholarly collection that presents transmodernity as a vital new framework for understanding the cultural, literary, and linguistic transformations of Africa and the postcolonial world. Edited by Eunice Fonyuy Fondze-Fombele, this book moves beyond the limitations of modernity and postmodernity to foreground “border epistemologies” that emerge from the margins. Through a rich array of case studies from Cameroon and across the continent, the volume explores how African
perspectives and indigenous knowledge systems actively reclaim ancestral mythologies and ecological wisdom to address pressing global challenges like climate change, migration, and identity crises. The book’s interdisciplinary approach, spanning literary studies, linguistics, and social sciences, champions African agency and offers a powerful blueprint for ethical renewal and a pluriversal future. It is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking a fresh, ethically-driven perspective on decolonial thought and the co-creation of a more equitable world.
