Abstract

Yusef Waghid concludes the book with this chapter, which offers a look into the future in the sense that he analyses teaching and learning as an instance of African higher education in relation to the idea of play. Our main argument is a defence of decoloniality with education on the basis of play concomitantly with an enhancement of Ubuntu justice.
