Dare to Invent the Future: Knowledge in the Service of and Through Problem-Solving

By Clapperton Chakanetsa Mavhunga, professor of science, technology, and society

MIT Press · 2023

In this provocative book - the first in a trilogy - Chakanetsa Mavhunga argues that our critical thinkers must become actual thinker-doers. Taking its title from one of Thomas Sankara's most inspirational speeches, "Dare to Invent the Future" looks for moments in Africa's story where precedents of critical thought and knowledge in service of problem-solving are evident to inspire readers to dare to invent such a knowledge system.

From Summer 2024 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News). Cover image via Google Books.
