About the Book

In order for decolonization to avoid becoming yet another orthodoxy, this book argues that it is necessary to recognize the neoliberal ideologies and imperatives that drive so much work in universities in both the Global Norths and Global Souths, and to understand the enmeshment (both historical and ongoing) of universities in colonial practices. The chapters interrogate both these issues and the terms in which they are usually critiqued in order to identify the cracks and fissures within institutions that may enable decolonization to be leveraged as a praxis and a means of radical change. The chapters explore a range of issues across Higher Education including reparations, allyship, soft power, academic publishing and the politics of race within the university; together they represent an argument for the necessity of continually rethinking and re-making the theories, methods and assumptions of decolonization.

Review :
Profound and complex explorations of decoloniality in academia are needed and this timely volume offers them. Scholars from across the globe critique institutional racism, advocate for inclusive knowledge production, and emphasize the need for global solidarity and transformative education. This volume is essential reading for understanding and probing decolonial praxis. This book is a monumental intellectual contribution to the reimagination of higher education into one that is animated by reconciliation of humanity with our essence – interconnected and interdependent within the web of life. Dismantling the current system calls for ignition of a deep sense of responsibility for shaping the desired future.
