(Un)learning ‘Europe’ as Decolonial Practice

This set of articles constitutes the second part of the Special Issue (Un)learning ‘Europe’ as Decolonial Practice. In the Introduction to the first part, we put forward a decolonial approach to European Studies, emphasising the relevance of Europe’s colonial past and present to understanding continuities between colonial legacies and contemporary European politics, knowledge production, and institutional practices. We argued that ‘unlearning’ means moving away from Eurocentric knowledge production processes marked by coloniality, and we underlined that epistemic injustices are closely connected to material ones. In this second part, we continue pursuing a pluriversal decolonial approach to European Studies, hoping that the critical voices in this double Special Issue contribute to the broader decolonial project.
