This book assesses diverse ways to think about "others" while also
emphasizing the advantages of decolonial intersectionality. The
author analyzes a number of struggles that emerge among Andean
indigenous intellectuals, governmental projects, and International
Relations scholars from the Global North. From different
perspectives, actors propose and promote diverse ways to deal with
"others". By focusing on the epistemic assumptions and the
marginalizing effects that emerge from these constructions, the
author separates four ways to think about difference, and analyzes
their implications. The genealogical journey linking the chapters
in this book not only examines the specificities of Bolivian
discussions, but also connects this geo-historical focal point with
the rest of the world, other positions concerning the problem of
difference, and the broader implications of thinking about respect,
action, and coexistence. To achieve this goal, the author
emphasizes the potential implications of intersectional
decoloniality, highlighting its relationship with discussions that
engage post-colonial, decolonial, feminist, and interpretivist
scholars. He demonstrates the ways in which intersectional
decoloniality moves beyond some of the limitations found in other
discourses, proposing a reflexive, bottom-up, intersectional, and
decolonial possibility of action and ally-ship. This book is aimed
primarily at students, scholars, and educated practitioners of IR,
but its engagement with diverse literature, discussions of
epistemic politics, and normative implications crosses boundaries
of Political Science, Sociology, Gender Studies, Latin American
Studies, and Anthropology.
