Knowledge production and the predicaments of postcolonial scholarly book publishing in Africa
Employing the mixed-method approach of an integrative literature review, a study of an African university press and key informant interviews, this study critically evaluates the relationship between knowledge production and scholarly publishing in postcolonial Africa.
