The Decolonized Library

DLP is a grassroots collective of educators, academics, visionaries, and community members challenging colonial knowledge by providing a counter-platform for learning, sharing and growing. This community seeks to create space to amplify the voices muffled by disenfranchisement to engage in vibrant, dynamic discourse through interactive and accessible information-sharing. PEDAGOGICAL VISION Operating as a community resource, the project functions as a Digital Library that showcases work from scholars and creatives alike, working to lay the groundwork necessary for an intellectual revolution through narratives that resist colonial frameworks and highlight alternative ways of knowing and being. The vision of the database is exponential, bringing together generational visionaries and thought-leaders; people in all stages of their revolutionary journeys. ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE DLP seeks to mobilize and decolonize knowledge by publishing a collection of written research articles, poetry, film, art, community resources and creative media that connects the enterprise of theory with the insights and lived realities of the modern subject. Juxtaposed between faith and culture, the platform will propagate accounts related but not limited to activism studies, the outworkings of religious ethics and literacy, the impact of liberation theologies, intersectional and post-colonial feminisms, queer, Black and indigenous theory, critiques of capitalism, and post-secular approaches. The DLP is a collective that works in the interest of pluralism, towards a future of collective flourishing and subaltern liberation. We present a variety of perspectives as a means of providing education to our communities. STRENGTH IN COMMUNITY The digital library is primed to reinforce the interests of marginalized communities through the support of community members and initiatives. The project aims to exist as a form of knowledge and resource mobilization for the collective.
