Abstract

The chapter focuses on two protests. In particular, it examines a school protest in South Africa and a naked protest in Nigeria, locating each within their respective national traditions of decolonising resistance. The authors analyse how gender and race in these two protests were harnessed in ways that speak to the multifaceted nature of colonial violence, offering a universalising mode of humanising insurgency into a globalising project of decolonial future-building. The authors interpret and enunciate these oppressions through an interlocking matrix that is materialised by structural (related to dominant systems, ideologies and discourses), direct (physical and psychological aggression) and epistemic (discourses implicated in practices of othering) violence. Specifically, they draw on this triadic matrix of violence to analyse contemporary moments in enactments of whiteness and masculinity.
