Decolonizing Knowledge and Knowers contributes to the current struggles for decolonizing education in the global South, focusing on the highly illuminating case of South Africa higher education. Galvanized by #FeesMustFall and #RhodesMustFall student protests, South Africa has seen particularly intense and broad social engagement with debates over decolonizing universities. However, much of this debate has been consumed with definitions and meanings, In contrast, Decolonizing Knowledge and Knowers shows how conceptual tools, specifically from Legitimation Code Theory, can be enacted in research and teaching to meaningfully work towards productive decolonization. Each chapter addresses a key issue in contemporary debates in South African higher education and show how practices concerning knowledge and knowers are playing a role, drawing on quantitative and qualitative research, praxis, and interdisciplinary research.
