Summary:
"Refreshing and radical,
Decolonizing
Academia
speaks to those who have been taught to doubt themselves because of the politics of censorship, violence and silence that sustain the Ivory Tower.
Clelia
O
.
Rodríguez
illustrates how
academia
is a racialized structure that erases the voices of people of colour, particularly women, and their potential. She offers readers a gleam of hope through the voice of an inquisitorial thinker and methods of decolonial expression: poetry, art and reflections that encompass more than theory."--Publisher.
"
Decolonizing
Academia
is the voice of a Latinx academic mother passing on the torch to her Latinx offspring to use as a tool to not only survive academic spaces but also dismantle systems of
oppression
.
Rodríguez
presents ideas that many have tried to appropriate, ignore, erase and consume in the name of "research." Her work is a survival guide for people of colour entering
academia
."--Publisher.
