This book confronts one of the most damaging yet least recognized forms of injustice—the silencing of people as knowers. Building on Miranda Fricker’s influential theory, it shows how individuals are denied credibility and understanding not because of what they say, but because of who they are. Through a sharp exploration of testimonial and hermeneutical injustice, the book reveals how prejudice shapes whose knowledge counts, whose experiences matter, and whose voices are ignored. Placing these ideas within the Nigerian context, it highlights the deep intellectual and social consequences of excluding certain voices in classrooms, communities, institutions, and national discourse. With clear analysis and thoughtful critique, the book evaluates Fricker’s strategies for addressing these harms and proposes context-sensitive solutions for a more just and inclusive epistemic culture.Insightful and urgent, it calls for a society where every voice is heard and every person is recognized as a true bearer of knowledge.
