Abstract

Abstract: This paper offers both a personal view of what decolonisation means, and the ingredients required to take the project forward. It cannot be a slogan without methodology and mindfulness of methodological nuances in different cultures and languages, that is, it cannot be a metropolitan discipline. It cannot be a hollow call against a generalised ­contamination. The paper then reviews other contributions to this ­volume and suggests their value in accomplishing progress towards the decolonial.
