Augustine Bame Nsamenang (1951-2018)

Presents an obituary for Augustine Bame Nsamenang (1951-2018). A teacher, scholar, innovator, and activist, Bame devoted his academic life to having African voices and perspectives heard in the child development and early childhood education, care, and development literature. In his international volume Human Development in Cultural Context: A Third World Perspective (1992), Bame made the case that "the exclusion of Third World ecologies . . . limits the evolution of a truly international psychology." Bame was ever engaged internationally. For example, in 2010 he was European Union visiting scholar at Oslo University College, Norway, and in 2014 he was visiting professor at the Aga Khan University Institute of Educational Development, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. In 2015, Bame was nominated the president-elect for the Pan African Psychology Union. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
