European colonization played a major role in the acquisition,
formation, and destruction of different ways of knowing. Recently,
many scholars and activists have come to ask: Are there ways in
which knowledge might be decolonized? Epistemic Decolonization
examines a variety of such projects from a critical and
philosophical perspective. The book introduces the unfamiliar
reader to the wide variety of approaches to the topic at hand,
providing concrete examples along the way. It argues that the
predominant contemporary approach to epistemic decolonization leads
one into various intractable theoretical and practical problems.
The book then closely investigates the political and scientific
work of Frantz Fanon and Amilcar Cabral, demonstrating how their
philosophical commitments can help lead one out of the practical
and theoretical issues faced by the current, predominant
orientation, and concludes by forging links between their work and
that of some contemporary feminist epistemologists.
