Decolonisation in the 21st Century

Amidst rising global inequality, intensifying geopolitical frictions, and the renewed force of colonial logics, this volume offers a critical interrogation of coloniality, decolonial practices, global capitalism, and the technologies of governance that entrench social and environmental injustice. Bringing together leading scholars from across disciplines and regions, the book traverses a wide range of contemporary terrains – from digital governance and platform capitalism to gig economies, migrant labour, and the racialised violence of displacement. The contributors unpack the historical roots and systemic architectures of domination while foregrounding situated efforts of resistance and decolonial praxis. Through incisive analysis and engaged scholarship, the volume challenges the institutional and ideological exclusions that continue to shape our world, offering compelling insights into how decolonisation might be reimagined as both critique and struggle in the 21st century.
