@Lylamehta This is a good summary, but I don't agree with this part: “Every human is born into a valid and legitimate knowledge system”, from Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni. I've never seen a completely valid and legitimate knowledge system. They're all imperfect, they're all contested, and they're all used by somebody to oppress somebody else. We can decolonize without idealizing pre-colonial systems.
