Description
This book addresses directly the relations between the concepts of postsecularity and decoloniality. Comprising several contributing chapters with a preface, editors' introduction and conclusion, the volume offers a more strategic, currently thought through and manageable focus on the twin notions of decoloniality and postsecularity that are both rapidly growing fields of inquiry across disciplines.
