Changing The Narrative

Robin P.

This factsheet provides useful definitions for the language of 'Imperialism', 'Colonialism', 'Human Rights', 'History', 'The West', and 'Decolonization' to interrupt and question dominant colonial narratives. The factsheet challenges readers to change their language in order to speak alternate histories and ways of knowing into a decolonized future.
