Louis Yako
“Decolonizing knowledge shouldn’t put us in the position of only producing knowledge as a reaction to Western knowledge. Our existence should not become one in which everything we produce is to justify our intellectual existence vis-à-vis the West. It means to produce what we see as important, fit, and nurturing to our communities, countries, and cultures, in separation from the West and its colonial and imperial agenda. This way, we will ensure to not waste our energy in simply reacting to the West to justify the value of our contribution to knowledge.”
Louis Yako

Arundhati Roy
“There's really no such thing as the 'voiceless'. There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.”
Arundhati Roy
