A Short Manifesto for Decolonising Multilingualism

The only way to decolonise is to do it. It needs some fore­ thought but ultimately it needs actions which are redolent with decolonising attempts, adding to critical learnings of previous decolonising attempts. It needs people who are able to embark on such a journey and return with tales to tell of what happens when decolonising is attempted in foreign languages learning. The tales are messy, compromised and always within what Spivak calls the ‘double bind’ (Spivak, 2012), a place within which there will always be dis­ease and a sense of not having reached a resolution. A place which, in critical terms, will always be found wanting, bearing traces of that which it wishes to divest.
