To be able to promote effective anti-colonial and decolonial education, it is imperative that educators employ indigenous epistemologies that seek to threaten, replace and reimagine colonial thinking and practice. Indigeneity and Decolonial Resistancehopes to contribute to the search for a more radical decolonial education and practice that allows for the coexistence of, and conversation among, multiple-epistemes. The book approaches the topics from three perspectives:
the thought that our epistemological frameworks must consider the body of the knowledge producer, place, history, politics and contexts within which knowledge is produced,
that the anti-colonial is intimately connected to decolonization, and by extension, decolonization cannot happen solely through Western science scholarship, and
that the complex problems and challenges facing the world today defy universalist solutions, but can still be remedied.
