Deliberative Agency
2022
Overview
Public deliberation, highly valued by many African societies,
becomes the cornerstone of a new system of African political
philosophy in this brilliant, highly original study. In
Deliberative Agency , philosopher Uchenna Okeja offers a
way to construct a new political center by building it around the
ubiquitous African practice of public deliberation, a widely
accepted means to resolve legal matters, reconcile feuding groups,
and reestablish harmony.
In cities, hometown associations and voluntary organizations
carry out the task of fostering deliberation among African groups
for different reasons. In some instances, the deliberation aims to
settle disputes. In others, the aim is to decide the best action to
take to address unfortunate incidents such as death.
Through a measured, comparative analysis, Deliberative
Agency argues that the best way to reimagine and harness the
idea of public deliberation, based on current experiences in
Africa, is to see it as performance of agency. Building a new
political center around the practice places agency at the core of a
new political life in Africa.
