Knowledge and decolonial politics : a critical reader

Dei, George J. Sefa (George Jerry Sefa), 1954- editor, Jajj, Mandeep, editor

Overview

\"Knowledge and decolonial politics: a critical reader offers the perspectives of educators and learners within current developmental settings, highlighting the systemic barriers faced whilst trying to implement decolonial pedagogies and practices. In the hope to challenge the dominance of Western Eurocentric thought in education and international development, the authors of this book offer counter narratives to promote the use of embodied cultural knowledges and histories, along with indigenous perspectives, in order to subvert Western knowledge systems which are inherently colonial in nature. Changing education as we know it today requires creating spaces in which multiple knowledges can co-exist and benefit from one another. These spaces will ensure the continuity of decolonial practices and shape the intellectual politics of future generations\"-- Provided by publisher.
