This handbook brings together the views of scholars from diverse disciplinary, ideological, methodological, and geographical locations to reflect on decolonizing knowledge. It takes stock of the reflections on decolonizing knowledge thus far, provides fresh thoughts on theme, and maps the way forward on decolonizing knowledge. Whereas the popular discourse approaches decolonizing knowledge as a recent scholarly undertaking, the handbook goes back into the past to identify some seminal thinkers, critiques trends within the field, as well as identify less popular personalities and positionalities in the field. In response to those who have challenged the call for decolonization as engaging in abstract thinking, the handbook proceeds to provide concrete case studies of the implementation of decolonization.
