Decolonial resources
None of us are free until all of us are free
As people living in the West, we are constantly exposed to media and news crafted to reinforce imperialist and neocolonial narratives. This occurs largely because investors, politicians, media owners, and powerful institutions shape coverage in ways that prioritize profit at the expense of other people’s wellbeing and existence. This silent yet pervasive process leads many Westerners to uncritically accept Western and Zionist propaganda on nearly any issue.In these times of genocide, imperialism, and exploitation, it is our responsibility to recognize this manipulation and disengage from Western media accordingly. We must filter the narratives we are fed through a decolonial lens in order to separate fact from propaganda. Most importantly, we need to listen to and read the voices of those directly affected. Indigenous voices must come first, and we must create space for them to be heard.To support this, we have compiled a short list of resources that can help challenge the biases of Western media.
