What is it about?

This chapter recognises that decolonisation is a specific anti-colonial political project, instituted by colonised peoples, including, peoples in what is designated the Global South, racialised peoples, and indigenous peoples. It recognises that taking up decolonisation within law schools must start with an acknowledgement of this.

Why is it important?

Rather than seeking convention means of decolonisation this chapter responds with some theoretical reflection and practical suggestions to the question, “What does it mean to dream of new anticolonial worlds from within the law school?”

Perspectives

This chapter contains the argument for the book - decolonisation is not replacement, inclusive or diversity.
