Decoloniality in the Grassroots and The Re-emergence of the Black Organic Intellectual

This book explores the relationship between "the roles of the Black organic intellectual and the PoC academic scholar, and outlines how important partnerships are emerging from these sometimes-contrasting decolonial praxes. By blending the decolonial processes of Indigenous rights via a liberation Psychology lens, Brazilian critical race scholarship and UK African diasporic collective consciousness via intersectional critical race studies, the authors provide a clear theoretical framework to show how a decolonised multi-layered community epistemology can be produced by the community for the community that in praxis form, can be employed for the fight for social justice within those communities.

Brings into conversation scholarship and activism focusing on the role of the organic black intellectual Provides a critical analyses of how decolonised knowledge is generated in community settings Uses case studies from the UK and Brazil

This book explores the relationship between "the roles of the Black "organic intellectual" and the PoC academic scholar, and outlines how important partnerships are emerging from these sometimes-contrasting decolonial praxes.
