Decolonizing ourselves • Writings – Bayo Akomolafe

“Colonization isn’t so much the extraction of wealth from a subdued land to the conqueror’s, as it is the shrinking of experience to fit the perspectival frames of the conqueror; it is the imposition of a single way of knowing, a single regime of noticing, a single apparatus for meaning-making – so that what is truly lost isn’t gold and corn and men as such, but ways of making sense of the vibrancy around us.”
