Celebrating their five year anniversary in 2024, Guppi and her partner-in-decolonising-crime Noni have been transforming Decolonising Economics from an unfunded grassroots initiative into a formalised entity with a staff team of 6. The origins of this work began in 2018/19 after running a series of workshops that came off the back of the article Guppi wrote in 2017 on Race for a New Economy.
In early 2019, through their relationship with Cooperation Jackson, Guppi & Noni supported Kali Akuno and his family to visit the UK on a book tour, celebrating the release of Jackson Rising. This kicked off with a community event in Brixton, followed by a residential retreat with new economy organisers that was co-run with STIR
The introduction to our work as Decolonising Economics: “It’s not a coincidence that under neoliberal capitalism, racial inequality exists. Race is a social construct, and one that was used to further the colonial project, in pursuit of ever growing economic wealth and power. It is essential to identify strategies that dismantle the system of white supremacy in the pursuit of a just transition.”
Please head to Decolonising Economics home page, and check out our projects and resources. And look out for Nourishing Economics – our destination for the near future of DE organising!
