The Introduction states that the collection’s aim is to centre the knowledge, experiences, and voices of Indigenous, Black, and racialized peoples in articulating a vision for decolonial equity work. The book aims to achieve three core themes to support Indigenous, Black, and racialized scholars, practitioners and students seeking to begin or further their efforts toward decolonizing equity: 1) theorizing or conceptualizing decolonial equity; 2) strategies, skills and practices for enacting decolonial equity; and 3) practices for sustainability and well-being while doing decolonial equity work.
