This book engages with the idea and philosophy of entrepreneurship in Africa from the position of several Indigenous communities in Africa. It advances that there is poverty in the current understanding and implementation of entrepreneurship in Africa, which is couched within a Eurocentric frame. It is argued that far from liberating Indigenous epistemologies toward the creation of sustainable entrepreneurship leading to, among others, socio-economic development, such a Eurocentrically monologous idea of entrepreneurship is limiting and limited. It is now time to transcend the Eurocentric monologue of entrepreneurship to an understanding of how Indigenous communities in various parts of Africa conceptualize and practice entrepreneurship, leading to inclusive and meaningful socio-economic development.
