Bodies, the contributors argue, powerfully register the impacts of colonial and racialized violence, but through practices of embodiment, they also digest, expel, and transform them. In centering non-normative subjective experiences and making space for different kinds of embodied knowledge, \u003ci\u003eDecolonizing Bodies\u003c\/i\u003e also takes a step toward decolonizing academic knowledge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis exciting and urgent book offers readers new ways of imagining, choreographing and enacting the body. Beyond connecting distant geographies of harm, it celebrates polymorphous decolonial repertoires that record, creatively narrate, and heal.","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45083218215063,"sku":"9781350374874","price":2475.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781350374874.webp?v=1769201157","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/decolonizing-bodies-9781350374874","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
