Rethinking Categories in Decolonial Discourse
This chapter examines the role of categories as intellectual tools impacted by colonial legacies and the challenges inherent in seeking untainted resources for decolonization. It critiques the notion of 'pure' tools free from colonial influence, suggesting that such pursuits can perpetuate colonial thinking instead of genuinely promoting change. The discussion also highlights the dynamic language of contemporary movements, particularly in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and emphasizes the complexities surrounding power dynamics and identity formation within sociopolitical contexts.
