    On the 24th of March 2023, the official book launch was held for Decolonisation and Legal Knowledge: Reflections on Power and Possibility. There is a 50% discount code: PODALK23. This discount is available till 30/04/2023. It can only be used on the BUP site: https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/decolonisation-and-legal-knowledge.This essential book provides an examination of the meanings of decolonisation and explores how this examination can inform teaching, researching, and practising of law. It explores the ways in which the foundations of law are entangled in colonial thought and in its [re]production of ideas of commodification of bodies and space-time. Thus, it is an exploration of the ways in which we can use theories and praxes of decolonisation to produce legal knowledge for flourishing futures.
