This is the first book in English profiling the work of a
research collective that evolved around the notion of
"coloniality," understood as the hidden agenda and the darker side
of modernity and whose members are based in South America and the
United States. The project called for an understanding of modernity
not from modernity itself but from its darker side, coloniality,
and proposes the de-colonization of knowledge as an epistemological
restitution with political and ethical implications.
Epistemic decolonization, or de-coloniality, becomes the horizon
to imagine and act toward global futures in which the notion of a
political enemy is replaced by intercultural communication and
towards an-other rationality that puts life first and that places
institutions at its service, rather than the other way around.
The volume is profoundly inter- and trans-disciplinary, with
authors writing from many intellectual, transdisciplinary, and
institutional spaces.
This book was published as a special issue of Cultural
Studies.
