Description
Book SynopsisUnderstanding and transforming the universities' colonial foundations.
Trade Review'A very well-researched and highly readable book that I feel compelled to highly recommend'
-- Journal of Applied Learning & Teaching
'A fine collection of knowledgeable yet readable essays which address a host of vital issues for our times: Eurocentrism, whiteness, power, free speech, inclusion and exclusion, and public higher education... A must-read for anyone interested in enhancing a historical understanding of our present through a consideration of what it means to decolonise'
-- Priyamvada Gopal, Reader in Anglophone and Related Literatures, University of Cambridge
'As Robbie Shilliam notes astutely in this timely volume, criticism of decolonising the university often overshadows the project itself. These collected reflections provide a much-needed analysis of the global movement to unsettle the Eurocentric white academy'
-- Alana Lentin, Western Sydney University
