What is decoloniality?

Decoloniality is not decolonization Decoloniality is not anti-imperialism Decoloniality is not intersectionality Decoloniality is not postcolonialism Decoloniality is not postmodernism

Decoloniality is an existential commitment to thinking in a radical exteriority to confront and end the colonial matrix of power, and the underlying logic of the foundation and unfolding of Western civilisation.

What is Islam?

Islam is not a religion Islam is not a civilisation Islam is not a (discursive) tradition Islam is not a religio-legal tradition Islam is not a language Islam is not a master signifier Islam is not a nomocratic order

Islam is an existential life-transaction

So what is Islamic Decoloniality?

Well worth a critical listen and conversation!

"Vitamin D recently caught up with Dr. Hatem Bazian of UC Berkeley at the Institutional Islamophobia conference held in London where he was gracious enough to spend some time with us to go over his background both as a decolonial scholar and an activist engaged in various liberation struggles.

We were also joined by the OOMK collective’s Hudda Khaireh as we touched on the Western university’s complicity in the expansion of eurocentric projects, the uneasy discourse of ‘Muslimness’ as an identity in the West as well as the Islamicate world’s place within the colonial matrix generally , and finally, Dr. Bazian’s own intellectual engagements with the Duboisian concept of double consciousness and formulation of a liberation theology based on Islamic principles.”

An innovative, premium Muslim media enterprise needs to define a market. Perhaps the ummahtic market segmentation captured - commodified - in Alchemiya's pitch provides food for thought.
