Decolonizing Writing?
A remarkable number of Western beliefs about writing were founded by people whose experience of the world’s writing systems was extremely narrow, and whose view of non-Western scripts was, to say the least, colonial, condescending, and short-sighted. After a dozen years of studying minority writing systems worldwide and working with their communities on revitalization efforts, Tim Brookes discusses what these scripts and their inherent beliefs about writing have to teach us about our own Western attitudes and beliefs.
