This book draws on decolonial theory to explore the ways in which Eurocentrism in the westernized university is both reproduced and unsettled. It outlines some of the challenges that accompany the decolonization of teaching, learning, research and policy, as well as providing examples of successful decolonial moments and processes. It draws on examples from universities in Europe, New Zealand and the Americas. This book represents a highly timely contribution from both early career and established thinkers in the field. Its themes will be of interest to student activists and to academics and scholars who are seeking to decolonize their research and teaching.

This book provides theoretically-informed and empirically-rich accounts of the ways in which formerly-colonialised peoples conceptualise and practice alternatives food networks. It explores whether and how alternatives to globalizing industrial food networks can even exist in countries and regions long characterised by externally-led forms of capital accumulation and enduring hierarchies of modernity. This book furthers our understanding of how, why and where alternatives to the globalising industrial food system emerge and thrive, or do not. The book highlights long-term `power geometries¿ that have created opportunities for some alternative producer-consumer and state-market-civil society relations and not others. In contrast to those who would discard of the term `alternative¿ altogether, contributions critically employ the term to enliven debates about the theoretical downsizing of capitalism and further our understanding of the complexities of alternative-mainstream relations in the postcolonial world.
