Beskrivning
In this book, Monika Kirloskar-Steinbach studies how Bhimrao Ambedkar (1891-1956), W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963), Mohammed Iqbal (1877-1938), Pandita Ramabai (1858-1922) and Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) diagnose the epistemic oppression they perceive and experience, their analysis of the coloniality of being as its cause, and their proposals to counter it. Kirloskar-Steinbach explores how these voices seek to co-create a space in which they can experience what it means to be free from the conceptual domination of academic frameworks, relish that freedom with their collaborators and, in the equal participation that that space affords, develop open-ended concepts that help them to resist the coloniality of being.

Recensioner i media

The geography of reason has shifted. For decades, W.E.B. Du Bois has been deemed “philosophical” only to the extent that he could be read in relation to American pragmatists or German idealists. Monika Kirloskar-Steinbach’s Freedom to Know refuses this complicity with the limitations of Western philosophy. She reads Du Bois alongside Bhimrao Ambedkar, Pandita Ramabai, Rabindranath Tagore, and Mohammed Iqbal as thinkers striving to reclaim the dignity and humanity denied to the darker races of the world by white supremacy. This marks an exciting turn in Du Bois scholarship and a novel intervention in anti-colonial theory.
