ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that justice is intertwined with injustice to the extent that in its frequent utterances, justice does the work of injustice. Consigned to facile and linear narratives of progress, figurative language of justice serves literal injustice. Drawing on Wynter’s knowledge-for theorizations, Patel situates linear ideas of progress as woefully insufficient to contend with the tangles of ongoing colonial injustice. The chapter closes with insights from Cedric Robinson and Prince about entropy to suggest what education might ungrip in order to reach beyond.
