LEPURU, Masilo. White Settler-colonialism and Epistemic Violence in "Post-apartheid South Africa": An Azanian Philosophical Analysis. Phronimon [online]. 2023, vol.24, n.1, pp.1-17. ISSN 2413-3086. http://dx.doi.org/10.25159/2413-3086/6165.
This article is a critical attempt to problematise the notions of European Modernity and Rationality. It is fundamentally an Afrikan philosophical critique of epistemic violence that comes with European Modernity and Rationality. It argues that European Modernity triumphed in "South Africa" following unjust conquest of the Indigenous people since 1652, which was characterised by loss of sovereignty and epistemicide. This resulted in the violent imposition of the law and jurisprudence of White settlers, which are antithetical to Afrikan law and jurisprudence. This epistemicidal nature of White settler colonialism manifests itself through the legal technicalisation of issues of historical injustice.
Palabras clave : conquest; post-apartheid "South Africa"; White settler colonialism; epistemicide; Modernity; Rationality; Afrikan law; Afrikan jurisprudence.
