This book explores the concept of 'cognitive injustice': the
failure to recognise the different ways of knowing by which people
across the globe run their lives and provide meaning to their
existence. Boaventura de Sousa Santos shows why global social
justice is not possible without global cognitive justice. Santos
argues that Western domination has profoundly marginalised
knowledge and wisdom that had been in existence in the global
South. She contends that today it is imperative to recover and
valorize the epistemological diversity of the world. Epistemologies
of the South outlines a new kind of bottom-up cosmopolitanism, in
which conviviality, solidarity and life triumph against the logic
of market-ridden greed and individualism.
