A Theorizing of De-colonializing Equity and the Nation State

New!

From: Decolonizing Equity

$2.00

In chapter 3, Kathy Hogarth engages with decolonial discourse and practice and argues that the need for an equity lens in decolonization is not only desirable but imperative if the decolonial mission is to achieve any success. At the same time however, this chapter questions the notion of equity itself as colonized and the need for this concept to be taken up through a decolonial frame. The three main constructs examined in this chapter are decolonization, equity, and the nation-state. Topics discusses include concepts of the nation, self-governance, new colonial relationships, and the depoliticization and dehistoricisation of the realities and histories of colonialism and how that hinders actual decolonization.
