The authors champion a transformative approach by foregrounding African perspectives, indigenous knowledge, and local community experiences. Through a series of case studies on pressing health issues—including mental health, maternal and child care, HIV\/AIDS, and pandemic preparedness—the book demonstrates how culturally responsive strategies can lead to more equitable outcomes. It offers a vital framework for connecting decolonial theory with the practicalities of locally grounded research, health policy, and service delivery. This work is an indispensable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in public health, global health, African studies, and international development who are committed to dismantling colonial structures and building healthier futures for all.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBiography\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n  \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n    \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor(s):\u003c\/span\u003e \n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n  \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDr Mathew Nyashanu is a public health researcher, academic and educator with extensive experience in health inequalities, social justice, migration, mental health, sexual health, HIV, health promotion and access to healthcare, based at Nottingham Trent University, UK.
