| Sommario/riassunto: | This book, 'Decolonising Political Concepts', edited by Valentin Clavé-Mercier and Marie Wuth, offers a critical examination of the enduring coloniality embedded within political concepts. Through a transnational lens, it addresses the need to decolonize both theoretical frameworks and practical applications of political ideas. The book draws upon postcolonial and decolonial thinkers to demonstrate how political concepts can serve as tools of oppression, while highlighting efforts to decolonize these concepts to foster genuinely postcolonial academic and political contexts. It engages scholars from various disciplines and geographical contexts to explore concepts like agency, violence, freedom, and sovereignty, allowing readers to critically reflect on these constructs and consider alternative perspectives. The intended audience includes graduate students and scholars in international relations, social sciences, philosophy, and related fields. |
