Decolonization of knowledge is neither about de-westernization nor about refusing western science or western knowledge system as a whole. It is because, as Lewis Gordon argues, decolonization of knowledge mandates a detachment from the "commitments to notions of an epistemic enemy."[18] It rather emphasizes "the appropriation of any and all sources of knowledge" in order to achieve relative epistemic autonomy and epistemic justice for "previously unacknowledged and/or suppressed knowledge traditions."[19]
