In Pluriversal Politics Arturo Escobar engages with the politics of
the possible and how established notions of what is real and
attainable preclude the emergence of radically alternative visions
of the future. Reflecting on the experience, philosophy, and
practice of indigenous and Afro-descendant activist-intellectuals
and on current Latin American theoretical-political debates,
Escobar chronicles the social movements mobilizing to defend their
territories from large-scale extractive operations in the region.
He shows how these movements engage in an ontological politics
aimed at bringing about the pluriverse-a world consisting of many
worlds, each with its own ontological and epistemic grounding. Such
a politics, Escobar contends, is key to crafting myriad
world-making stories telling of different possible futures that
could bring about the profound social transformations that are
needed to address planetary crises. Both a call to action and a
theoretical provocation, Pluriversal Politics finds Escobar at his
critically incisive best.
