The goal of this blog is to increase awareness on the issue of mental and psychological
colonialism that still affects many African and Asian countries. By raising
awareness, I am also looking to attract many interested scholars, researchers,
professors, and students to participate in this discourse. Colonialism
may no longer be a blight to many African and Asian countries, yet its effects
are still felt many decades later.
I am not, by any means, calling
for a complete overhaul of the existing colonial educational and
epistemological systems in Africa and Asia. My goal is to shed light on
systemic factors and foreign curriculums that are contributing to the loss of
culture and identity in these regions. Once we shed light on that and people
understand the real benefits of appreciating all cultures and their ways of
knowing, we can then figure out what needs to change and what needs to stay in
African and Asian education systems.
