Abstract
The aim of this research paper is to bring to light the epistemic injustices that African philosophers are subjected to in academia. Academia is often presented as being objective and fair. Using the theory of epistemic injustice, I uncover the four injustices that African Philosophers suffer. With the aim of presenting a sound and valid argument, I hope my findings lead to a change in the academic sphere, with a much more decolonized setting. This study is extremely significant as it can lead to a much more reflective field of study and the removal of prejudice and racism in this sphere. Furthermore it can lead to African voices being included more in mainstream philosophy.
