Situating the terms of contemporary engagement vis-a-vis the westernized university's deep colonial legacies, Cupples and Grosfoguel curate a stunningly diverse set of contributions that scope out what it might actually mean to decolonize research and teaching. This book is recommended reading for all those who wish to think differently about the cultivation of knowledge in our crisis-prone era. - Professor Robbie Shilliam, Queen Mary University, London, UK Across the globe, students and staff are calling for the decolonisation of universities. Too often, that call is heard by university leadership as a need for non-threatening diversity initiatives or, worse, an attack on free speech. This important edited volume sets the record straight. To decolonise the university is to struggle to make real different kinds of social relations based not on domination and exploitation but on critical and collaborative knowledge production for epistemic justice. - Professor Akwugo Emejulu, University of Warwick, UK This book takes the critique of neoliberalism and higher education far beyond elite nostalgia for a pristine intellectual past.
