"Boldly unmasking and challenging the colonial logic that underpins homogenizing classroom instruction across the disciplines and affirming the anti-colonial theoretical foundations of epistemic resistance rooted in indigenous spirituality, ways of knowing and being, this visionary collection offers vital conceptual tools and pedagogical possibilities that are bound to advance the global struggle for humanizing knowledge production and anti-racist education practice."--Joyce E. King, PhD, Benjamin E. Mays Endowed Chair for Urban Teaching, Learning & Leadership, Georgia State University, USA "Challenging the tropes of dominant sociopolitical theory, Indigeneity and Decolonial Resistance is a bold, brazen and uncompromising collection of essays that stands at the cutting edge of decolonial studies."--Peter McLaren, Distinguished Professor in Critical Studies, Attallah College of Educational Studies, Chapman University (04/16/2018) In this text, indigeneity as a political concept challenges Western hegemonic educational practice. The decolonization of education, in terms of curriculum content, pedagogy, and resistance, constitutes the major theme. The commodification of seeds, land, and indigenous knowledge, and the "povertization" of Africa through self-serving development officials, planners, and researchers, are of prime concern to the 12 contributing authors. Corporations such as Monsanto are implicated not only in the recolonizing process but also in the entrenchment of poverty, the systematic exclusion of indigenous peoples, and in the planning and execution of programs, ostensibly for their benefit.

Reseña del editor:

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 Resistance hopes 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. Indigeneity and Decolonial Resistance is an excellent text for use in a variety of upper-division undergraduate and graduate classrooms. It is also a valuable addition to the libraries of writers and researchers interested in indigenous studies and decolonialism.
