| Summary: | Knowledge is more expansive than the boundaries of the Western university model and its claim to be the dominant or only rigorous house of knowledge. In the former colonies of Europe (e.g., South Africa, Brazil and Oceania), the curriculum, statues, architectures and other aspects of the university demonstrate the way in which it is a fixture in empire maintenance. The trajectory of global White supremacy is deeply historical and contemporary. It is a global, transnational and imperial phenomenon. White supremacy is sustained through the construction of inferiority and anti-Blackness. The context, history and perspective offered by Collins, Newman and Jun should serve as an introduction to the disruption of the ways in which university and academic dispositions have and continue to serve as sites of colonial and White supremacist preservation, as well as sites of resistance. |
