Why is it important?
This chapter explains why decolonisation is of relevance to law schools and why diversity is an insufficient remedy for racism. It argues that any effective work on decolonisation in law schools must trouble the fundamental concepts of the discipline, as well as the position of the law school within the neoliberal university and enmeshed in a world driven by racialised capital.
