Abstract: The article reviews the book "Can the Church Be Decolonized? Holy Cross Education in Bangladesh," authored by Md Shaikh Farid and Liz Jackson, which critically examines the educational mission of the Congregation of Holy Cross (CSC) in Bangladesh. The authors argue that despite significant changes in the region and the Catholic Church, CSC's educational practices still reflect colonial legacies. Utilizing a post-colonial framework, the book explores the historical context of CSC education, the impact of colonialism on local identities, and the gradual shift towards local governance in educational institutions. It emphasizes the need for centering local voices in future educational reforms while acknowledging the complexities of decolonization within the CSC framework. [Extracted from the article]
