About this book
The most comprehensive and challenging examination of race, coloniality, and power in UK nursing and higher education yet written.
Drawing on critical race theory, decolonial thought, and the author’s five-year programme of empirical scholarship, this book moves far beyond the diversity rhetoric that has dominated institutional discourse for decades — and makes an uncompromising case for structural transformation.
Dr Ajibade examines how colonial legacies continue to shape curricula, professional standards, research methodologies, and institutional cultures in ways that are rarely named and almost never addressed. He offers a framework for transformation that is both theoretically rigorous and practically grounded.
Essential for anyone serious about what decolonising higher education actually requires in practice — not as a performative gesture, but as a structural commitment.
