"Osha’s Postethno-Philosophy is a wonderful review of what has happened in African philosophy. It addresses new issues and offers new directions. It provides an appreciation of a tremendously rich history of debates … Postethno-Philosophy is a great contribution to debates about what kind of theories and issues philosophy in general, and African philosophy in particular, should address in a world not confined to neat categories of what is original. It will certainly help shift the ground upon which contemporary discourse stands." – in: Journal of Asian and African Studies 47/4 (2012)
"… in a bold move – the kind that gives rise to discursive rupture and instantiates paradigm shift – Osha tries to set a broad new agenda for African philosophy. … Osha offers criticism of philosophers before him and his contemporaries too on a very high theoretical level. This results in an entirely new and highly original approach to the understanding of African philosophy. … Osha’s book provides a tool to understand African philosophy. It challenges all the authoritative positions in the domains of African philosophy and offers new ones. As such it is sure to give rise to debate beyond African continent and African philosophy." – in: Africa Insight 41/3 (December 2011)
