Decoloniality in the Grassroots and The Re-emergence of the Black Organic Intellectual, 1st ed. 2023 Palgrave Studies in Decolonisation and Grassroots Black Organic Intellectualism Series

This book  explores the relationship between "the roles of the Black ?organic intellectual? and the PoC academic scholar, and outlines how important partnerships are emerging from these sometimes-contrasting decolonial praxes. By blending the decolonial processes of Indigenous rights via a liberation Psychology lens, Brazilian critical race scholarship and UK African diasporic collective consciousness via intersectional critical race studies, the authors  provide a clear theoretical framework to show how a decolonised multi-layered community epistemology can be produced by the community for the community that in praxis form, can be employed for the fight for social justice within those communities.
