In a world overwhelmingly unjust and seemingly deprived of
alternatives, this book claims that the alternatives can be found
among us. These alternatives are, however, discredited or made
invisible by the dominant ways of knowing. Rather than
alternatives, therefore, we need an alternative way of thinking of
alternatives. Such an alternative way of thinking lies in the
knowledges born in the struggles against capitalism, colonialism,
and patriarchy, the three main forms of modern domination. In their
immense diversity, such ways of knowing constitute the Global South
as an epistemic subject. The epistemologies of the South are guided
by the idea that another world is possible and urgently needed;
they emerge both in the geographical north and in the geographical
south whenever collectives of people fight against modern
domination. Learning from and with the epistemic South suggests
that the alternative to a general theory is the promotion of an
ecology of knowledges based on intercultural and interpolitical
translation.
