Reviews

This exciting and thought-provoking collection looks at how colonial knowledge is produced and resisted in locales and by people not always given due consideration in mainstream theory and politics. * Nivi Manchanda, Reader in International Politics, Queen Mary University of London, UK * In a time when the practice of decoloniality is getting increasingly distracted by superficial propositions, neocolonial appropriations and banal jargon, this edited volume brings in fresh air of hope that there is still a possibility to revive the practical intentions with which decolonial movements were born. * Sayan Dey, Assistant Professor of English, Bayan College, Oman, and author of Garbocracy: Towards a Great Human Collapse (2024) * An essential and timely work, this volume illuminates foundational perspectives on decolonization, offering a ""back to the classics"" approach that revisits the deeper traditions of Third World anti-colonial and anti-racist thought. Rooting current manifestations of decolonization in the works of Fanon, Cesaire, Mariátegui, Du Bois, Uberoi, Dutt, Rodney and others, the chapters powerfully challenge the institutional cooptation of the decolonial in academia and reframe it in connection to a broader societal and global project. * Gabriela Veronelli, Professor of Latin American Philosophy and Decolonial Theory, Universidad Nacional de San Martín, Argentina *
