Abstract

In this paper, hope is critically considered within the context of the persistent impact of colonisation, neoliberalism and rising fascism. The following question is asked: In these troubling times, can we, and should we, hope? The urgent case for hope is then made, before a more systemic, relational, decolonised hope is proposed as a viable way of doing hope together.
