Decolonizing Knowledge: Looking Back, Moving Forward

This book reflects on texts from anti-colonial thinkers of the past - J.P.S. Uberoi, Frantz Fanon, Aimé Césaire, C.L.R. James and Andaiye, among others - to draw out earlier generations' understandings of decolonization. Contributors writing from multiple disciplines provide key insights from their thinking and examine their relevance for contemporary struggles for racial, gender and class justice. These essays straddle a range of themes from theory and practice, art and literature, gender and identity, and political economy, to address a subject that is preoccupying academia and activists in the 21st century.
