- This book is the outcome of six years of extensive research on an in-depth and comprehensive philosophical discourse of albinism in African contexts, which included a 5-month Writing Fellowship at the Johannesburg Institute of Advanced Study (JIAS) in 2017 exclusively used for drafting a substantial part of the manuscript. It consists of the collection and analysis of a very wide range of primary sources and the analysis of the multi-layered philosophical issues such as epistemological, ontological, ethical and existential issues relating to albinism in Africa, which if published as individual essays, would amount to at least four separate pieces.
