Abstract: Seventy years ago, Indonesia hosted one of the most renowned conferences in modern history: the Asia-Africa Conference. Since that pivotal 1955 Bandung moment, numerous commemorative events have been held by governments, academia, and civil society across the globe—particularly in major cities of the Global South. The profound legacies of this moment continue to resonate throughout the world, including within academic discourse, especially in what has increasingly been referred to as “decolonization”—a term coined in Latin America that now echoes across many regions. In academia, decolonization is more than a buzzword. It has become the subject of serious inquiry, with scholars seeking multiple tools—not just a singular approach—to redefine notions of ‘selfhood’ and ‘explanation’ beyond Eurocentric frameworks.
