ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at the application and pursuit of critical scholar-activism in transforming society in pursuit of a decolonial and counter-colonial future. The chapter examines the radical critiques of mainstream criminology by critical feminist and postmodernist thinkers to contribute to an understanding of the relationship between colonial experience and criminology. The chapter considers the relevance of African, abolitionist, and Indigenous literature and advocates a ‘committed objectivity’ approach to race-class-gender criminology investigations to come to terms with imperialistic and neo-colonialist criminology.
