This enables us to overcome the current defects of the decolonial movement. He made a first attempt to develop such a framework under the label Decolonizing The Mind (DTM).<\/p>\n<p>Based on the theoretical framework he goes into the question of organization: how to organize the decolonial movement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sandew Hira has written an essay about the future of the decolonial movement.
