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.
