A worthwhile read, especially for those in fields that are jumping on the “decoloniality bandwagon,” so to speak. While the author’s bias is fairly obvious and somewhat distracting, it is certainly worth remembering that despite the noble urge of decolonization to remove the eurocentrism from academia, there are are actually cases where non-Western civilizations are autocratic and not to be held in a pedestal.
It’s nice to be somewhat validated in my thinking that although I support some decolonization efforts, the ultimate conclusion of this approach is as dystopian as what it is replacing if we don’t fix or replace the existing structures of power while we’re at it.
Edit: the down-votes of both my comment and the OP without any further comment just serves to further illustrate the point of the review that decoloniality has become (or had always been) dogmatic and unwilling to consider criticism.
