"We must no longer joke that there is freedom of expression in Zimbabwe, but no freedom after expression. We must take this conviction as a warning sign that our freedom peacefully to express what we want as Zimbabweans in public discourse is being stripped away from us."

Good morning!
I highly recommend Prof. Tamale's book for anyone interested in Decolonization discourses in Africa. 💜
She nuances discussions of agency while highlighting the silenced narratives on epistemology/activism which leave out the perspectives of marginalized Africans.
