Decolonial thought

Decolonial thought is an intellectual movement that seeks to challenge and dismantle the lingering effects of colonialism—such as cultural dominance, inequality, and suppression of indigenous knowledge—in societies worldwide. It encourages examining how colonial histories continue to influence contemporary power dynamics, identity, and ways of understanding the world. The goal is to affirm and revive marginalized cultures, perspectives, and histories, promoting more inclusive and equitable ways of knowing and being that respect diverse ways of life beyond Western-centric views.
