This book brings together 11 prominent scholars and political
activists to discuss and explore issues around postcolonialism,
decoloniality, Theories of the South and Epistemologies of the
South. These wide-ranging discussions touch upon issues from
academic research methods and writing conventions to global
struggles for justice. Together the chapters, as well as the
interventions from forum participants which are characteristic of
this series, paint a complex and dynamic picture of areas of
thought and action that are constantly evolving in response to the
demands of a world in flux. The book is a major intervention in
current debates about the geopolitics of knowledge, as well as an
illustration of the ways in which scholarship in the Global
North(s) is indebted to the diverse traditions of scholarship in
the Global South(s).

In the wake of #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, #rhodesmustfall and the
Covid-19 pandemic, this groundbreaking book echoes the growing
demand for decolonization of the production and dissemination of
academic knowledge. Reflecting the dynamic and collaborative nature
of online discussion, this conversational book features interviews
with globally-renowned scholars working on language and race and
the interactive discussion that followed and accompanied these
interviews. Participants address issues including decoloniality;
the interface of language, development and higher education; race
and ethnicity in the justice system; lateral thinking and the
intellectual history of linguistics; and race and gender in a
biopolitics of knowledge production. Their discussion crosses
disciplinary boundaries and is a vital step towards fracturing
racialized and gendered epistemic systems and creating a
decolonized academia.
