Abstract

This chapter focuses on Makoni’s work and notions of Southern Epistemologies and the Global South but then also finding ways to connect them specifically to language. The Global South is the place where colonial epistemic violence is carried out. The Global South is a place where people are silenced or not heard; the place where epistemologies are mediated as a result of their colonial histories, European expansion, the Enlightenment, and the Renaissance. Chinese hegemonic power is at work as well in the Global South. The terms ‘Global North/Global South’ blind those in the Global North to the actual complexity of the rest of the world and make them unaware of what else might be going on because of this narcissistic obsession with their own importance. The full history of the world has been hidden from them; there is another part of the world that sees this history differently.
