This edited book on South Asia is part of the book series "Managing
the Post-colony." This series is co-edited by Nimruji Jammulamadaka
and Gavin Jack and is focused on managing and organising within the
historical and contemporary structures of colonization and
imperialism within and across nation-states and social domains
especially the economic and the cultural domain. This edited book
on South Asia is committed to a presentation of indigenous
understandings and knowledge around the organizing, religion,
language and cultural production through the lens of anti, post and
de-colonial thought. This book forces the reader to consider not
just what we know but how and where we know and can be instrumental
in identifying and challenging dominant modes of management
knowledge production. The decolonial movement is closely associated
with scholars like Walter Mignolo, Anibal Quijano and others who
expose how Western rationality and science, emanating from the
enlightenment project, are being used by colonial powers to
consolidate their imperial projects. The authors in this book argue
that a potent form of colonization is epistemic in nature. This
book series seeks to present cutting-edge, critical,
interdisciplinary, and geographically and culturally diverse
perspectives on the contemporary nature, experience and
theorization of managing and organizing in post-colonial location
under conditions of coloniality. These conditions subsume ongoing
and new forms of colonisation/imperialism, and complex resistances
to them, and lives lived outside them, and may be drawn out and
investigated in regard to a multiplicity of different business- and
management-related topics. The power of domination is its ability
to silence other ways of knowing, being and doing. Focus on South
Asia: Ways of Managing, Organising and Living delivers a profound
critique of Western management theory and its universalistic
claims. But, it goes much further to advance other managements and
ways of organising from the peoples and communities of South Asia.
Stella M. Nkomo, University of Pretoria, South Africa I like very
much the orientation and the composition of the volume...you have
a) the meaning of management in the West changed after the
Industrial revolution and by 1900 became a political issue
domestically in the US and before that colonial, as you show in the
colonial context of South Asia; b) so the constitution of the
settler management as you show with McCaulay, destituted all
existing local form of organizing their praxis of living; c) the
task now is the reconstitution of the destituted, the pluriversal
human (and animals too) self-organization subjected to Western
regulations to their own benefit, while materializing their
rhetoric of racial destitution (incapable of organizing like us,
impossible for them to be like, us we have to teach them
civilization, etc.). Walter Mignolo, William H. Wannamaker
