This book explores how water functions as both a material reality and an epistemological metaphor for rethinking knowledge production from decolonial and Global South perspectives.

It brings together scholars from diverse disciplines to examine how water – rivers, oceans, rain and aquatic cosmologies – shapes ways of knowing, remembering and relating to the environment. The chapters critically interrogate dominant Western epistemologies and foreground Southern and decolonial epistemologies.

The book seeks to recover marginalized knowledge traditions and challenge dominant academic Eurocentric frameworks proposing water as a generative site for reimagining knowledge production.

It contributes to ongoing debates in decolonial studies, environmental humanities, education and African studies, offering new metaphors, methodologies and paths towards solidarity and collaboration.
