Sema Live | Episode 6 - Movement Texts as Anti-Colonial Theory

from The Host · host Hosted in Africa Productions

This episode extends the Sema Session episode on Indigenising Sites of Knowledge in Africa. The question here is where do we draw our knowledge from, particularly on anti-colonial theories in the 21st Century? Do we only rely on the mainstream texts, which are often tainted with colonial undertones? Join two upcoming legal scholars* as they interrogate the inclusion or exclusion of certain sources of knowledge in the academic space specifically, and other general knowledge sites. This episode is largely based on a journal article by Dr. Mahvish Ahmad, an Associate Professor at LSE, titled "Movement texts as Anti-colonial theory", available here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/00380385221098516*Melissa Mungai and guest Zwelithini Eugene Xaba are legal scholars with an interest in the decoloniality discourse in African academies. They are also Members of the Hosted in Africa Network.                            Support the showTo learn more about Hosted in Africa - check us out in the HiA Networkwe are because you are!
