@LucyMayblin @JennyPickerill @GKBhambra @timeshighered One after all only rejects 'modernity' as colonial and European if one buys the story that only the colonial and the European were its authors.

@LucyMayblin @JennyPickerill @GKBhambra @timeshighered I am actually quite uncomfortable with the kneejerk 'anti-modernity' of the so-called 'decolonial'. It erases something that Fanon, Césaire and others were careful to point to--the colonised as key agents in the contruction of modernity, & as votaries of elements of it.
