| Summary: | The current volume has been collated during a time of serious upheaval in the tertiary sector of the South African educational system. The recent slogan #Feesmustfall is the continuance of the previous #Rhodesmustfall rallying cry against the coloniality of knowledge, of being, and of power. To understand these rallying cries, it is important to take note of the decolonial turn, regardless how uncomfortable it may be when one finds oneself caught up in the corridors of the Western scholarly ivory tower. The essentialising nature of the current decolonial discourse in the country may cause one to remain there, mouth shut and immobile. But the discourse may also propel one to reflect within the parameters of Old Testament scholarship on the challenges the decolonial turn put on the table. |
