About this book
This book explores the relationship between "the roles of the Black “organic intellectual” and the PoC academic scholar, and outlines how important partnerships are emerging from these sometimes-contrasting decolonial praxes. By blending the decolonial processes of Indigenous rights via a liberation Psychology lens, Brazilian critical race scholarship and UK African diasporic collective consciousness via intersectional critical race studies, the authors provide a clear theoretical framework to show how a decolonised multi-layered community epistemology can be produced by the community for the community that in praxis form, can be employed for the fight for social justice within those communities.
Reviews
“Decoloniality in the Grassroots is an engaging and very original contribution to the field. It uses auto-ethnography and is structured like a long conversation between friends whilst also unpacking structural racism, whiteness, decoloniality in Brazil and the UK. This non-academic register allows for surprising insights and revelations, and the focus on Brazil and the United Kingdom spotlights the Black Intellectual in contexts that remain largely overlooked by extant scholarship.” (Dr. Nivi Manchanda, Reader in International Politics, Queen Mary University of London, UK)
