Abstract

In this article, I examine how Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy of non ‐ violent resistance (Satyagraha) can be applied to decolonize schooling and education practices in Ghana. Satyagraha consists of three fundamental elements: appeal to the oppressor, non ‐ cooperation, and civil disobedience. Part of an anti ‐ racist and anti ‐ colonial dis ‐ course, Satyagraha is a strategy, epistemology, and methodology for creating spaces for inclusion of Ghanaian Indigenous knowledge and worldview in school curricula and pedagogy. This article is also informed by my lived experiences and observations as an Indigenous student from Ghana. I conclude the article with a discussion of the benefits and dangers inherent in such transformative work. Key words: anti ‐ racism, anti ‐ colonial, non ‐ violence, spirituality Dans cet article, l’auteur montre comment la philosophie de non ‐ violence (satyagraha) de Gandhi peut etre mise a profit pour decoloniser l’ecole et les pratiques pedagogiques au Ghana. Le satyagraha comprend trois elements essentiels : l’appel a l’oppresseur, la non ‐ cooperation et la desobeissance civile. Partie integrante d’un discours antiraciste et anticolonial, le satyagraha est une strategie, une epistemologie et une methodologie visant a creer des espaces pour l’inclusion d’une vision du monde et d’un savoir proprement ghaneens quant aux programmes scolaires et a la pedagogie. Cet article repose aussi sur l’experience personnelle et les observations de l’auteur en tant qu’etudiant ghaneen. L’article se termine par une discussion des bienfaits et des dangers inherents a un tel travail de transformation. Mots cles : antiracisme, anti ‐ colonial, non ‐ violence, spiritualite

非殖民化的知识生产:甘地的satyagraha对加纳学校和教育的教学意义
在本文中,我将探讨圣雄甘地的非暴力抵抗哲学如何应用于加纳的非殖民化学校和教育实践。Satyagraha由三个基本要素组成:呼吁压迫者、不合作和公民不服从。作为反种族主义和反殖民主义的一部分,Satyagraha是一种策略、认识论和方法论,旨在创造空间,将加纳土著知识和世界观纳入学校课程和教学法。这篇文章也来自我作为加纳土著学生的生活经历和观察。在文章的最后,我讨论了这种变革性工作所固有的好处和危险。关键词:反种族主义,反殖民主义,非暴力,灵性,Dans et article,甘地非暴力哲学(satyagraha)的monteur评论,非殖民化的利润,加纳的教育实践学院。Le satyagraha概括了三个基本要素:“呼吁”和“压迫者”、“不合作”和“反服从”。政党整合,反种族主义,反殖民主义,统一的战略,统一的认识论,统一的方法论,统一的空间,统一的包容,统一的世界观,统一的知识,统一的知识,统一的知识,统一的知识,统一的知识,统一的课程,统一的教学。这篇文章包含了奥斯特尔的经验,以及奥斯特尔的观察结果。这篇文章讨论了一场艰苦的转型所带来的好处和危险。口号:反种族主义,反殖民主义,非暴力,精神主义
