Abstract
This chapter examines how decolonial scholars have engaged and shaped decolonial discourse and posits that this text extends these discourses by delving into the potentiality for decolonial pedagogy to reformulate and reconfigure colonial structures. It maps the chapters within this text and engages various sites of colonial oppression by cutting across fields, geographies and institutions in order to trace decolonial resistance. This chapter highlights the topics covered in this anthology which include state power, the psychological sciences, education and Indigenous technologies and provides a layout of the strategies, critiques and research on how to transform these sites of colonial oppression.
