Moreover, it frames knowledge production as a process that emerges through the interdependent, collaborative, and at times fractious interactions of multiple, diverse agents. Its multi-text narrative centers around the university as a crucial institution for producing and legitimizing (or failing to legitimize) decolonial knowledge.
How do indigenous and other forms of marginalized knowledges transform not only Eurocentric assumptions about the subject of human rights but also the role of the university, which has traditionally functioned to legitimize certain forms of knowledge and modes of knowledge production while erasing others? How does a decolonial approach to knowledge work force us to consider not just what we know but how and where we know, what methods and epistemologies we employ to produce knowledge and within and through what institutions beyond the state? Naijamerican science fiction writer Nnedi Okorafor’s Binti trilogy (2015–2018) presents an especially generative set of texts through which to think through these questions.
