As the first lecture of the series "In our own words", Prof Dr Elisio Macamo talks about the field of African Studies. The lecture series was developed as a cooperation of Prof Dr Elisio Macamo, Prof Dr Mamadou Diawara and L.I.S.A.Science Portal of the Gerda Henkel Foundation. It aims to point out that knowledge production on the African continent not only exists as a solution to problems other scholars and scientists have defined but is rather relevant in its own right. In this regard, Prof Macamo sees African Studies as the reflection of how one comes to the knowledge of Africa and the ability to talk truthfully about the continent. Thereby, the sociologist discusses why there is no knowledge of Africa but rather a process through which Africa as an object is constituted.
