Product description

This book highlights the many diverse ways in which colonialism shaped what we think we know about the world, and even the ways we come to know it, and reveals the role played by European colonialism in acquiring, shaping, and exploiting different ways of knowledge. Recently, many researchers, scholars, and activists have begun to wonder: Are there ways to escape or purify knowledge from colonialism? The book "Purifying Colonial Knowledge" examines a variety of these projects from a critical and philosophical perspective, and offers the reader a wide range of critical approaches and examples to address the subject. The book also explores the political and scientific contributions of Frantz Fanon and Amílcar Cabral, as well as contemporary feminist approaches, illustrating how these philosophical and critical approaches can help overcome the crisis resulting from current practical and theoretical issues in the subject of epistemic colonialism. The author describes how power relations based on nation, class, race, and gender inequality affect our understanding, and also advocates for a liberatory theory of knowledge that recognizes the possibility of applying scientific methods to solve social problems.
