> While I do not endorse the positions (nor the rhetorical style) of the list's "decolonializing design" advocates, it is naïve and dangerous to assume that much of the world is free of the legacies of colonialism. The term colonialism is, indeed, often thrown about in a manner that I don’t think is helpful but that doesn’t mean everything is just fine and dandy in a just, progressive, and open globalized world.
Dear Gunnar,
I meant that if we look at the progression of history so far, we can clearly see that, even though colonialism took a terrible toll on the world and all is clearly not well with the world now, the world is far better off now than it was, say, even a hundred years ago.
Best,
