In Decolonizing the Academy (2003), we argued that the current university is a liberating space for the transformational of knowledge but simultaneously functions also as a space that reinscribes colonial politics through a variety of departments founded under the principles of maintaining hegemonic politics of former European and American powers.

The study of literatures in these institutions repeat these formations in structures despite the work of writer/scholars like Ngugi wa Thiong’o et al in “On the Abolition of the English Department” (1967) which led to the creation of Departments of Literatures and Literary Theories in selected institutions.
