Knowledges Born in the Struggle

"""In this exciting collection, the epistemological—rather than the geographical—South emerges in its full political vitality. […] The authors illustrate the immense cognitive diversity generated through resistance against exclusion, degradation, and nullification—offering models of how we can weave together counter-hegemonic processes of existential and epistemological restitution. They thereby enact the idea of the Global South as both a reality and a 'proposal-in-progress'. This is an invitation to join the necessarily collective, positive, and constructive endeavor of interpreting a diverse and non-relativistic, incomplete, and pluriversal world through fighting to transform it. Don’t pass it up!"" Jane Anna Gordon, author of Creolizing Political Theory and Statelessness and Contemporary Enslavement ""This sparkling collection offers a compelling instance of decolonization as ongoing emancipatory practice. Its authors urge us to reboot the modern political imagination by learning with, and from, the South: the South less as geographical than as epistemic space. And as the source of alternative theorizations born of struggle, resistant re-cognition, subaltern cosmopolitanism. The South, in this sense, is both a reality and a 'proposal-in-progress', speaking to emergent political possibilities, plural histories, and hopeful futures."" Jean and John Comaroff, Harvard University"
