decolonization
This term describes the systemic reversal of colonial rule, shifting from a political act of sovereignty to a broader intellectual and social project. In a geopolitical sense, it refers to the formal transfer of power and the establishment of independent nation-states, often associated with the mid-century movements in Africa and Asia.
In contemporary academic and social discourse, the word extends beyond borders to describe the dismantling of colonial mindsets. This involves purging Eurocentric biases from education, art, and law to restore indigenous knowledge systems. It is often viewed as an ongoing process of psychological liberation rather than a single historical event.
