Unthinking Mastery (eBook, PDF)

Dehumanism and Decolonial Entanglements

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Julietta Singh challenges the drive toward the mastery over self and others by showing how the forms of self-mastery advocated by anticolonial thinkers like Fanon and Gandhi unintentionally reproduced colonial logic, thereby leading her to argue for a more productive human subjectivity that is not centered on concepts of mastery.
