Inhaltsangabe

Decolonizing the Public Library describes the main practical, methodological and theoretical approaches to decolonizing public libraries. Using case studies and best practice from Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, the book provides a thorough understanding of the impact and legacy of imperialism, colonialism and neo-colonialism on the structure of the public library.

Through a discussion of the history and role of the public library as an agent of colonialism, this book explores how this paradigm can be reversed through decolonization, setting out anti-racism and decolonization strategies that can be practically applied to public libraries. Chapters cover

  • history and theory of racism, settler colonialism and decolonization;
  • what decolonization means and how it can be applied to public libraries;
  • the impact and outcomes of decolonization, and how these can be measured;
  • how to respond to the opposition to decolonization; and
  • practical tips and actions to implement decolonization in the library.
