Examining both the why and how of critical synergy

ABSTRACT

In A Critical Synergy: Race, Decoloniality, and World Crises, Ali Meghji provides a provocative, approachable and convincing account of why decolonial thought and critical race theory can work together as epistemic allies. I propose that using the two frameworks in tandem is the first step of a much larger metatheoretical exercise as the HOW of the synergy is equally as important as the WHY.
