Priyamvada Gopal

Priyamvada Gopal, a Professor of Postcolonial Studies at the University of Cambridge, dives into the intricacies of anticolonial resistance and its relevance today. She illuminates how literature can inspire liberation while exploring connections between Muslim identity and decolonial thought. Gopal also articulates the differences between postcolonial and decolonial frameworks, critiques historical narratives, and addresses the complexities of contemporary decolonization, particularly in South Asian contexts and beyond.

Decolonial scholars Priyamvada Gopal and Françoise Vergès discuss post-election changes in the UK and France, challenges faced by new governments, environmental activism, wealth concentration among elites, and the power of imagination in resistance movements.
