Abstract

This chapter explores how decoloniality theory differs from postcolonial theory to enhance understanding of the core interventions to the comprehension of the problematic &s;postcolonial&s; on a world scale. It traces the complex genealogies of politics of invention of non-beings and their symbolisation by blackism on a world scale. Racist configuration of the world is the fuel and justification for the &s;will to power.&s; Invisible racism continues to underpin a modern world that is comfortable with production and reproduction of coloniality long after the dismantling of direct colonialism. Consequently, the invented ontological split created by racism continues to sustain whitism on a world scale in a hegemonic position and blackism on a world scale in a subaltern state of dehumanisation. Outright denial or questioning of the humanity of non-European people was a deliberate technology to enable the &s;death project&s; of coloniality.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
