Many contributors locate their chapters in histories of colonial subjugation and present-day manifestations of coloniality in postsecondary education in sub-Saharan Africa. Though many authors writing in this book have been trained in ways that hardly contested coloniality, some offer practical ideas on how decolonisation can take place. Further, this chapter acknowledges that serious decolonial work is untidy, sometimes byzantine, and expensive. The chapter ends by contending that political, institutional, and departmental commitments are imperative to successfully decolonise media and communication studies education in sub-Saharan Africa.
