Avoid confusing Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò with Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò[edit]
I am pretty sure this page conflates TWO Olúfẹ́mi Táíwòs, one (who does not seem to use the middle initial "O") is at Cornell, and is probably the author of "Legal Naturalism", "How Colonialism Preempted Modernity in Africa", and "Africa Must Be Modern". This Mr. Táíwò may also use the name form "Olufe mi Taiwo". The other, Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò is the actual subject of this page, he is at Georgetown (that is correct in the article) and is the author of "Reconsidering Reparations" and "Elite Capture".
I am putting this on a "Talk" page and not editing the article, because I do not consider myself an expert on this topic, and came across the above only by a Google search (on search term "olúfẹ́mi táíwò"). Also, Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò's own website (http://www.olufemiotaiwo.com/) refers to the Jan 2022 "Reconsidering Reparations" as "my first book", which was what alerted me to the probability that the earlier books must be written by a different Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò. The two may be related - I know nothing about this.

Correct. This source also indicates that there are two Taiwo's. (t · c) buidhe 15:39, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
