This open access edited volume brings together a multidisciplinary team of scholars to investigate the concept of transformative development through decolonial approaches to language, literatures, and pedagogies. Contributors discuss the transformative development vision with a focus on language, literature and education. In doing so, they investigate the contribution of Wolof to the transformative development of postcolonial Senegal, analyse the impact of endonormativity on the transformation of Cameroon, and explore the impact of AI technologies such as ChatGPT on decolonial research and teaching in Africa. They discuss the transformative potential of oral and written African literature, the importance of values-based civic education and decolonizing continuous professional development for teachers, and the role of culturally sensitive curriculum around EFL.

Going beyond traditional emphases on economic and industrial progress, the authors gathered here ultimately develop new analytical frameworks that align with African realities and priorities in order to promote the decolonisation of the African minds, which remains a work in progress.
