Abstract:

This book is both a deep dive into and a critique of foundational
decolonial concepts and epistemologies, engaging both historical,
theoretical analyses of social issues and conditions, and standpoints
from activism. The chapters are situated within multiple, plural and
shifting force fields within the academy, and present a pathway to
critically engage political or academic practices within and outside
the university. The authors specifically engage contestations and
harmonies in approaches of decoloniality, epistemic injustices,
Southern epistemologies and epistemologies of the Souths. Alongside
the theoretical chapters sit interventions on self-liberation,
healing, reconstitution of human life, embracing interdependence and
defying boundaries. The book represents a critical intervention in the
development of decolonial theories and methodologies, and will be of
interest to scholars, students and activists within and outside of
academia.
