About

Decolonization is a multifaceted academic concept and research field that critically examines the historical processes of colonial liberation and the subsequent, ongoing efforts to dismantle the enduring political, economic, cultural, and epistemological legacies of colonialism. It investigates the dynamics of colonial power and resistance, centers the experiences and agency of colonized peoples, and analyzes the persistent structures of inequality and knowledge production shaped by colonial history. Its significance lies in challenging dominant narratives, promoting alternative perspectives, and contributing to critical understandings of global power relations, social justice, and intellectual autonomy in postcolonial contexts.
