| Témata: | anti-colonial, colonialism, decolonial, imperialism, history of knowledge, meta-theory, neo-colonialism, postcolonial, social theory, social thought |
| Popis: | Anti-colonial ideas that resist the dictates of colonialism and imperialism are arguably as old as colonialism itself. Anti-colonial scholarship that questions the dominance of theories of knowledge advanced by colonial and imperial powers in the social sciences is much newer. While the latter shares its origins with earlier theories of knowledge reacting against colonialism, namely postcolonial, decolonial, and world systems approaches, an anti-colonial framework has important differences. In recent years, scholars have begun to identify and debate those key characteristics. This volume brings together some of these scholars, who despite differences in geographic location, academic discipline, or intellectual tradition, have adopted an anti-colonial framework to grapple with the implications of colonialism for our world and, importantly, how we come to understand it. In our introduction to the volume, we first provide a concise overview of the historical and contemporary contexts that make this volume possible. Then we discuss the perspectives and debates, found in the volume’s chapters, that seek to clarify and celebrate anti-colonial global scholarship and, in doing so, illuminate its promise for understanding human societies not only in the past but, importantly, in the present and future. |
