%X In this article, I seek to explore the prospects of ending epistemicide in Africa. The literature that challenges epistemicide in Africa largely addresses epistemicide¡¯s impact on the indigenous people of Africa¡¯s knowledge paradigm and call for its reversal. I argue that not much has been written in regard to the prospects of ending epistemicide in Africa. I regard this task as necessary given that the dominance of one epistemological paradigm in the educational curriculum continues to prevail. The position that I am defending here is that the quest for epistemic liberation ought to shift from the theoretical level to consideration of how this noble idea can be put into practice
