Decolonial Entanglements

This book responds to a critical geopolitical moment where decolonial thought, praxis, and pedagogy confront urgent questions of resistance in the face of Palestinian genocide and scholasticide, alongside other forms of state-sanctioned colonial violence against Black, Indigenous, immigrant, and displaced peoples worldwide.

Establishing solidarity across diverse movements, while respecting their unique histories and contexts, this volume embraces relational methodologies that foster dissent, points of tension, and conjunctures, and at the same time advances pedagogical practices aimed toward coalition-building. By bringing together anticolonial concepts, decolonial methodologies, and abolitionist thought, it challenges colonial systems of knowledge amplifying theoretical frameworks and practical pedagogical approaches that center knowledge rooted in collective struggles and movements. Together, the chapters serve to emphasize interconnectedness among distinct liberation projects, and to offer a shared vision for decolonial futures grounded in pedagogies of solidarity and internationalism.

Essential for academics and graduate students in decolonial and abolitionist studies in education, international and comparative education, philosophy and sociology of education, and globalization studies.
