Calls for decolonizing knowledge production are increasing, but English-speaking, neoliberal, Western countries still dominate, often with irrelevant assumptions and racialized portrayals. Palestinians under Israeli military rule are also subject to dual colonization, with northern institutions commodifying research and education. This silences Palestinians and their supporters, but they continue to teach, research, and struggle for freedom and justice. It is hoped that international funders and publishers will take concrete actions to decolonize knowledge production and promote global advancement.
Calls for decolonizing knowledge production are increasing considerably. Yet the domination of knowledge production by English-speaking, neoliberal, Western countries continues, with understandings and assumptions often irrelevant and unimportant to southern countries, and can contain racialized portrayals of the people of the developing world. Palestinians under Israeli military rule have also become governed by neoliberal funding northern institutions that have commoditized research and education and control what should be researched and how. The dual colonization of Palestinians by Israel and the hegemony of neoliberal political-economy among a captive Palestinian population-reinforced by the Zionist lobby's ferociousness in punishing whoever dares to raise questions about Israel's wrongdoings-is silencing Palestinians and those supporting justice to Palestinians in ways perhaps not experienced by others who want their voices heard. Yet Palestinians continue to teach and conduct research and to struggle for freedom and justice on one hand and for liberation from donor dictates on what to research and how to research and write on the other. We continue to hope that international funders and publishers would take concrete steps to turn calls for the decolonization of knowledge production from lip service to actions so that all knowledges can contribute to debates and societal advancement worldwide.
