Know about the book -

The Palgrave Handbook of African Education and Indigenous Knowledge is written by Jamaine M. Abidogun and published by Springer Nature. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 303038277X (ISBN 10) and 9783030382773 (ISBN 13).

This handbook explores the evolution of African education in historical perspectives as well as the development within its three systems–Indigenous, Islamic, and Western education models—and how African societies have maintained and changed their approaches to education within and across these systems. African education continues to find itself at once preserving its knowledge, while integrating Islamic and Western aspects in order to compete within this global reality. Contributors take up issues and themes of the positioning, resistance, accommodation, and transformations of indigenous education in relationship to the introduction of Islamic and later Western education. Issues and themes raised acknowledge the contemporary development and positioning of indigenous education within African societies and provide understanding of how indigenous education works within individual societies and national frameworks as an essential part of African contemporary society.
