Theory and Praxis: Reflections on the Colonization of Knowledge

Editat de Murzban Jal, Jyoti Bawane
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2021
This book proposes a New Enlightenment – a new way of looking at the non-Western world. Breaking new ground, the essays chart a course beyond Eurocentric discourses (which completely ignore the contributions of Asia, Africa and Latin-America) and forms of nativism (which are usually ethnocentric discourses).


The volume:







  • Focuses on the historical aspects of knowledge-production and its colonization;







  • Examines the genre of multilinear histories that displaces hegemonic Eurocentric discourses;







  • Enlarges the scope of multilinear historicism whereby Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas are drawn in a new humanistic knowledge system;







  • Studies how colonization is resisted in both the non-Western and Western world.




Lucid and engaging, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of social theory, education, politics and public policy.

Descriere

This book proposes a New Enlightenment—a new way of looking at the non-Western world. Breaking new ground, the essays in the volume chart a course beyond Euro-centric discourses (which completely ignore the contributions of Asia, Africa and Latin-America) and forms of nativism (which are usually ethnocentric right-wing discourses).
