Description
This book invites you to rethink development studies and challenge colonial legacies. Amber Murrey and Patricia Daley explore how educators, activists, and students are working together to create anti-racist decolonial practices in the classroom and beyond.
The authors argue that being intentionally disobedient in the classroom is central to decolonizing development studies. They show how colonial legacies continue to shape our understanding of land, well-being, progress, and development, and offer new projects to counterbalance these legacies, particularly in African geographies.
