Globalization and the Decolonial Option
What is Kobo Super Points?
All of these are encompassed in deterritorialization processes across the Americas. The theorization of coloniality and recognition of the central place of Spanish imperialism sit at the core of the reconsideration of postcolonial thought as it was introduced in North American universities during the s.
Yet it had one major blind spot: The response of Latin American scholars to the postcolonial turn cannot be understood without considering its connection with the ongoing critical reappraisal of the history of social, racial, and cultural difference in the region. Together, they mapped out the role of power in ordering and controlling society under Spanish rule and long after independence.
As both a moment and a movement, Latin American subalternism provided a clear alternative to postcolonial studies and as such, went on to fuel a generation of critical scholarship on the symbolic articulations of coloniality. In the wake of these interventions, five recent books provide an overview of [End Page ] the different approaches to the study of colonialism that have developed across disciplines.

Subjects Globalization -- Congresses. Decolonial option Summary 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.
