Towards Re-Africanizing African Universities: Who Killed Intellectualism in the Post Colonial Era?

I am delighted to be lecturing in Taifa Hall after many years. Under the previous political order a lecture by Mazrui at the University of Nairobi needed the permission not just of the Vice Chancellor but also of the Office of the Head of State. I hope that under the new dispensation all that was needed to invite me to give this lecture was the decision of the relevant department.
