Language in Post Colonial Worlds. An Intellectual and Cultural Decolonization

Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject African Studies - Linguistics, grade: 95, , language: English, abstract: This paper deals with the questions of language, intellectual and cultural decolonization in post colonial worlds.

The concern with cultural decolonization hails from different academic spheres, and as well as different geographical settings that either experienced European colonialism like in Africa, Asia or, from geographies with masses who were subjected to a forceful removal and enslavement and subsequently ferried from their indigenous homelands to Europe or America.

To decolonize culture in this context primarily means, to liberate language, identity, and the intellectual constellation of the colonized communities from the colonial experience that some/many believe to have suppressed and subjugated their cultural identities.
