Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Youth Entrepreneurship

Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Youth Entrepreneurship: Recentering the Voices of Marginalized Communities in Africa analyzes the limitations of top-down intervention programs designed by the state to address the problem of unemployment among marginalized communities in Africa and foregrounds the centrality of IKS in fostering entrepreneurship. Samuel Ojo Oloruntoba, Innocent Moyo, and Lethiwe Zondo examine the solutions to these problems within the ongoing debate on decolonization of knowledge and epistemic justice. The contributors argue that when the voices of the marginalized communities are taken into consideration in the design of employment and entrepreneurship policies, there are possibilities that such policies could be more effective, affirming the agency and rights within these communities. Using case studies and theoretical research, this book investigates how a better engagement with marginalized communities and indigenous knowledges in the design of entrepreneurship and employment policies could foster more positive outcomes? This book enriches the conversation on how recentering the voices of indigenous youths in the design of entrepreneurship programs can be done in due regard to the interests, priorities, and challenges of the communities.
