ABSTRACT
This chapter explores how decoloniality theory differs from postcolonial theory to enhance understanding of the core interventions to the comprehension of the problematic 'postcolonial' on a world scale. It traces the complex genealogies of politics of invention of non-beings and their symbolisation by blackism on a world scale. Racist configuration of the world is the fuel and justification for the 'will to power.' Invisible racism continues to underpin a modern world that is comfortable with production and reproduction of coloniality long after the dismantling of direct colonialism. Consequently, the invented ontological split created by racism continues to sustain whitism on a world scale in a hegemonic position and blackism on a world scale in a subaltern state of dehumanisation. Outright denial or questioning of the humanity of non-European people was a deliberate technology to enable the 'death project' of coloniality.
