Decolonizing Knowledge: Why BIPoC with Disabilities Are Invisible in Germany's Job Market

Dekolonialisierung des Wissens

Robel Afeworki Abay

This video unpacks Robel Afeworki Abay's groundbreaking study, *Dekolonialisierung des Wissens* (Decolonizing Knowledge), revealing how BIPoC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) with disabilities face systemic exclusion from Germany's labor market. It's not just about individual barriers—it's about colonial legacies, epistemic violence, and a system that silences their voices. We dive into the 'decolonial intersectionality' framework, exposing how racism, ableism, and classism intersect to trap people in segregated workshops and bureaucratic nightmares. But there's hope: this isn't a story of victims. It's about resilience, community solidarity, and a call to dismantle the white, able-bodied norm. Watch to understand why real inclusion requires a radical shift from 'fixing' individuals to transforming society.
