Foluke's African Skies

I was interviewed by Kendall for the New Books Network Podcast about my book Decolonisation and Legal Knowledge. Kendall Dinniene is a fourth year English PhD student at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Their research examines how contemporary American authors respond to anti-fatness in their work. The original podcast was released on the 2nd of April 2023.

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.

In this episode, I reflect on Amilcar Cabral's life and theory.

In this episode, I attempt a brief answer to the question, "what is decolonisation?"

In this episode, I reflect on how decolonisation has become 'trendy' and is uncritical; its possibility hampered by profound lack of understanding of its urgent necessity.

In today's episode, I discuss how decolonisation discourse has focused on teaching and ignored research, and how that focus has ignored research's history and present of broken bones and its production of the wretched of the earth.

My name is Foluke Ifejola Adebisi and this is my podcast. This podcast is linked to my blog of the same name, in which I explore Africa, law, race, decolonisation and other questions of concern. I hope you join me in this continuing journey, as I learn and unlearn as well as explore questions of hope and the future and possible worlds that can break from the wretchedness of the present one.
