Conclusion. 330 $aIn the last two decades, we have witnessed the quest for decolonization; through research, writing, teaching, and curriculum across the globe. Calls to decolonize higher education have been overwhelming in recent year. However, the goal of decolonizing has evolved past not only the need to dismantle colonial empires but all imperial structures. Today, decolonization is deemed a basis for restorative justice under the lens of the psychological, economic, and cultural spectrum. In this book, the editor and her authors confront various dimensions of decolonizing work, structural, epistemic, personal, and relational, which are entangled and equally necessary. This book illuminates other sites and dimensions of decolonizing not only from Africa but also other areas. This convergence of critical scholarship, theoretical inquiry, and empirical research is committed to questioning and redressing inequality in contemporary history and other African studies. It signals one of many steps in a bid to consultatively examine how knowledge and power have been both defined and subsequently denied through the sphere of academic practice. 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aEducation$xPhilosophy 606 $aSocial justice 606 $aImperialism 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aPostcolonialism 606 $aHigher Education 606 $aEducational Philosophy 606 $aSocial Justice 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 606 $aPost-Colonial Philosophy 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aEducation$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aSocial justice. 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aPostcolonialism. 615 14$aHigher Education. 615 24$aEducational Philosophy. 615 24$aSocial Justice. 615 24$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aPost-Colonial Philosophy. 676 $a733 702 $aWane$b Njoki Nathani 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910845091703321 996 $aEducation, Colonial Sickness$94260308 997 $aUNINA
