Focusing on anticolonial theories of reading, the book presents a unique perspective that challenges traditional notions of authority tied to political recognition and national sovereignty. It advocates for embracing inexpertise and inconsequence, promoting a shift from mastery to collective cultivation. This approach seeks to redefine the relationship between knowledge and power, offering an alternative vision of anticolonialism that prioritizes community engagement over individual authority.
