Résumé

Résumé : This is a collection of essays from the International Symposium in Honour of Bob Marley: 40 Years After, held on 11 May 2021 at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. The essays examine the contributions of Bob Marley towards the sustenance of the philosophy of Pan-Africanism as well as the intellectual ideology of Marcus Garvey. It also looked at reggae music as an effective means of disseminating information and making discontent or disaffection and as well explores the nexus between the struggle for the emancipation and liberation for the African continent. The Bob Marley's Redemption songs inspired the need to unite and fight against the repressive tendencies of the neo-colonialists agents militating against Africa. The essays in this volume are multidimensional from scholars of different backgrounds in humanities and social sciences. It recreates the nexus between music, history, philosophy and popular culture. Bob Marley provides the template of new epistemological rethinking of teaching history and decoloniality from the lens of music. This volume provides a new dimension of understanding the African narratives in slavery, colonialism and neo-colonialism. It challenges western filer thoughts on the persistent struggle of class struggle and imperial instituted regimes in Africa.
