This exercise has been an invitation to African-centred psychology. It is an invitation to those who are done with being alienated to contribute towards the development of an internationalist African-centred psychology. It is a call for a psychology that places Africans centre-stage in working out the meaning of their own lives. It is about knowing Africans, from psychologists and students of psychology to the many lay African publics, from a disalienated position, which is one of resisting, overcoming, or working through feelings and the sense of being unloved and misrecognised. It is a call for thinking about who you are, in relation to yourself and others. It is about learning about the world from within your own embodiedness and locatedness in the world, and so achieving what we can call a sense of relatedness.

African-centred psychology is, centrally, about experiencing the self and the world from a place in Africa. This place is not one place. But whatever home is for you, that is the place from which you go out into the world.

African-centred psychology is an emancipatory psychology that aims to help students, researchers, therapists and activists, within as well as outside Africa, to engender a stronger position for psychological insights from Africa.

This, then, has been a call inspired by the space that has reopened in several places on the continent to make Africancentred psychological thought and practice. A call that sees an opportunity for radical, critical, anarchist and social-justiceoriented psychologists from Africa and other parts of the world to contribute towards their own demarginalisation and disalienation. A call to break free from the conceptual prison created by psychology coming from the US and Western Europe – a psychology that we ourselves have supported. A call to contribute to thinking Africa in the world.
