"This book seeks to imagine a decolonized sociolinguistics. All the chapters are firmly grounded in southern approaches to knowledge production, and invite us to begin to decolonize ourselves and to rethink normative assumptions about everything from academic writing to research methods and language teaching"--

This book confronts colonial development models to decolonize the methodologies and epistemologies of development in Africa and advocate for Afrocentric alternatives. Using postcolonial, post-developmental, and post-structural theories, the authors advocate for a new direction of development that incorporates indigenous-Afrocentric alternatives.

AbstractThis essay considers the challenges faced by academic journals such as this one at this moment of crisis of capitalism, with pressures on the one hand to democratize and decolonize, and on the other to produce profit through intensification, flexibilization and precaritization.

"Responds to the urgent call to decolonize design through powerful, incisive guidelines drawn from 15 years of lived experience. A transformative blueprint for repairing the harm caused by structural inequity through decolonizing not only our institutions, but also our thinking, and how to begin today"--

In this article we try to expose an interpretation situated between the Latin-American philosophy (in twentieth century) and the situation in Europe. Seeing the path of history in the Latin American continent we consider the moment indicate (also because several politics in the region) to think ideas from the liberation point of view to the Spanish and south European perspective. Considering both contexts we suggest through arguments, these ideas can be thought as well in south Europe movements. The objective of this paper is also propose and suggest deeper later works, trying to do it from a communitarian perspective and not just individual. At the same time exposing several philosophical Latin American quotes that we can consider for this future purposes. The suggestions about the main issue will appear between […] and cursive. ; En este artículo se intenta lanzar una interpretación mediadora entre la filosofía latinoamericana (del siglo veinte) y la situación europea actual. Dado el recorrido histórico del continente Latinoamericano nos parece el momento indicado, contando también con los procesos políticos vigentes de la región, de poder compartirse su saber hacia otros ámbitos sobre todo cuando éstos tienen características análogas. Es por ello que intentamos sugerir humildemente que ciertas ideas latinoamericanas puedan ser consideradas argumentativamente en el contexto de convulsión social en Europa. El objetivo del trabajo es asimismo proponer una labor posterior más profunda, señalando que esa tarea debería ser realizada de manera colectiva y no sólo individual. A su vez teniendo en cuenta como claves los autores que se citan en el texto para poder entender mejor la realidad europea y de sus periferias. Las indicaciones sobre esta cuestión aparecerán entre corchetes y en cursiva.

This trans-disciplinary, socio-spatial study analyzes the history of decolonial existentialist and phenomenological theory in the work of figures such as Simone de Beauvoir, Richard Wright, Franz Fanon, Lewis Gordon, Audre Lorde, Sylvia Wynter, and Jamaica Kincaid to decolonize dominant discourses on femininity, Blackness, and Black peoples.

Rivers are alive and impulsive, shaped by history and geology. Just One Rain Away provides a starting point for cross-cultural discussions about how expert knowledge and practice should inform egalitarian decision-making about flood control and decolonize current ways of thinking, being, and becoming with rivers.

Focusing on compensation, friendship, and collaboration, this book explores what anthropologists and research participants give to each other in and beyond fieldwork. Contributors argue that while learning and following the local rules of reciprocity are challenging, they are essential to responsible research and efforts to decolonize anthropology.

Vor dem Hintergrund der engen wirtschaftlichen, politischen und administrativen Beziehungen Namibias zur RSA werden die internen Versuche einer Reorganisation der Kommunalverwaltung Namibias im Zeitraum von 1977-1983, bis der südafrikanische Generaladministrator wieder volle direkte Kontrolle übernahm, analysiert. Herausgearbeitet werden die zahlreichen Gründe, die das gegenwärtige ethnisch strukturierte Verwaltungssystem finanziell und organisatorisch untragbar und ineffizient machen. Eine aufgeblähte Bürokratie, Korruption und administrative Absurditäten charakterisieren ein System, das endgültig wohl erst nach Erlangung einer wirklichen Unabhängigkeit geändert werden wird bzw. kann.

The paper addresses the topic of decolonial pedagogies in the Global South analyzing Campus in Camps, an educational program founded in 2012 by Alessandro Petti and Sandi Hilal that activates critical communal learning within the Dheisheh refugee camp in Bethlehem, Palestine. The program reflects on refugee camps which are in a process of social and spatial transformation. The paper raises two main questions: how does the program of Campus in Camps decolonize methodologies of knowledge construction about the camp life? How does it activate processes of embodied pedagogy where knowledge is grounded in action and emerges as a group effort accommodating subjects born from the interaction among participants, tutors and the broader social context? The article will first focus on the problematic of conceivingthe camp as a site of history and knowledge. Secondly it will dig into the pedagogical strategies, research methodologies and participatory design methods enacted in order to "decolonize knowledge" through exercises of collective un-learning.

Uses a wide range of international case studies form the Global South to examine the stark repercussions of colonial conquest on children's lives and childhood policy today. Liebel shows the work that we must do to decolonize childhoods globally and ensure that children's rights are better promoted and protected

I suggest that to decolonize conservation we must also decolonize our way of seeing land and nature-society relations inscribed in it as landscapes. I proceed in three parts. First, drawing on insights from post- and decolonial studies, critical geography, environmental history and political ecology, I highlight three problems that underpin a landscape way of seeing nature-society relations: depoliticization, simplification/decomplexification, and representation. Second,to illustrate the colonial legacy of the contemporary landscape approach to nature conservation, I revisit the global history of landscapism – the double movement of colonizing landscapes/landscapingcolonies. This double movement began with the internal colonization of European landscapes (autonomous political communities), and continued through the landscaping of (settler-)colonies by Europeans outside of their homelands. Third, through the contemporary case of a landscape conservation initiative in Tanzania (the so-called "Tarangire-Manyara Ecosystem"), I illustrate the implications of the double movement in the colonial present of African conservation. I conclude with a few remarks on what decolonization of conservation would have to entail in scientific research and practice.

AbstractTheorists working within the Frankfurt School tradition of critical theory have not been immune to calls to "decolonize" that have been circulating in and beyond the academic world. This article asks what it means to seek to decolonize a tradition of thought that has never explicitly acknowledged colonial histories. What is needed, instead, this article suggests, is consideration of the very implications of the "colonial modern"—that is, an acknowledgement of the colonial constitution of modernity—for Frankfurt School critical theory's idea of historical progress. The issue is more extensive than simply acknowledging the substantive neglect of colonialism within the tradition; rather, this article suggests that its categories of critique and their associated normative claims are also necessarily implicated by this neglect and require transformation. Acknowledgment of colonial histories requires material reparations for the substantive inequalities bequeathed as legacies of the past, but these reparations also require a transformation of understandings and a recognition of "epistemological justice."
