ABSTRACT

The growing influence of Latin American decolonial thought has animated several African scholars in Africa, especially South Africa. As a result of this influence, numerous articles have been published calling for the decolonization, through the decolonial turn, not only of university curricula but also of the processes of knowledge production. But there has been silence on the impact of decolonial theory on African postcolonial theory. With the decolonial call for the decolonization of postcolonial theory and its influence on African scholarship, what is the position of African postcolonial theory in these decolonial interventions? With a focus on African postcolonial theory, this article interrogates Ramón Grosfoguel’s call to decolonize postcolonial theory, thereby establishing a critical epistemological dialogue between decolonial theory and African postcolonial theory.

摘要

拉丁美洲非殖民主义思想日益增长的影响力使非洲，尤其是南非的几位非洲学者感到振奋。由于这种影响，已经发表了大量文章，呼吁通过非殖民化转变，不仅是大学课程，而且是知识生产过程的非殖民化。但对于非殖民主义理论对非洲后殖民主义理论的影响一直保持沉默。随着后殖民理论非殖民化的非殖民化呼声及其​​对非洲学术的影响，非洲后殖民理论在这些非殖民化干预中的地位如何？本文以非洲后殖民理论为重点，质疑拉蒙·格罗斯福格尔关于非殖民化后殖民理论的呼吁，
