Description
… The need to highlight perspectives from the humanities and social sciences is underscored by a decolonial consciousness and an understanding of the competing approaches to COVID-19, particularly from those from below. In fact, these perspectives can unmask the long-standing colonial matrices of power that underpin the dominant discourse and praxis of the management of a pandemic. These power structures are characterised by, and sustain multiple hierarchies organised around racial, gender, class, ethnic, religious, epistemic and sexual divides. … This book … comes at a crucial time when profound questions should be asked about humanity and future pandemics. Contributions come from key domains of enquiry in the humanities and social sciences, namely teaching and learning, sustainable livelihoods, medicine, indigenous practice, language and languaging, the environment and epistemology.
