Description
Against Decolonisation: Campus Culture Wars and the Decline of the West by Doug Stokes explores the recent surge in moral panic and the adoption of binary worldviews in universities. Stokes surveys these developments, challenging the theories and arguments of 'decolonisers' and examining the underlying impulse to question Western narratives. The book delves into the tensions between questioning the West's sense of self and deconstructing its institutions, highlighting the paradox that this impulse was initially underpinned by a more confident Western hegemony. Stokes questions who or what will carry the torch for human freedom and progress if this light continues to dim. Through a critical analysis of campus culture wars, Stokes offers a nuanced exploration of the complex issues at play in contemporary university politics.
