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.
Monika Kirloskar-Steinbach is Professor of Philosophy and holds the chair for Diversifying Philosophy at the Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam. She is editor of the Journal of World Philosophies and series editor of the Bloomsbury Studies in World Philosophies book series and co-series editor of Bloomsbury Introductions to World Philosophies.
