Abstract

The chapter examines how, if at all, Religious Education south of the Sahara engages with the decolonisation imperative in education. It initiates critical discussion why decolonisation in RE is proving to be a difficult process south of the south of Sahara including the complex picture that emerges in which some countries are recolonising a curriculum that had started the process of decolonisation. Drawing on anticolonial framework not only is the chapter critical of the current set up of RE for its inability to decolonise but crucially provides insights on how decolonised RE can be conceptualised and actualised in the curriculum.
