Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In On Decoloniality Walter D. Mignolo and Catherine E. Walsh explore the hidden forces of the colonial matrix of power, its origination, transformation, and current presence, while asking the crucial questions of decoloniality's how, what, why, with whom, and what for. Interweaving theory-praxis with local histories and perspectives of struggle, they illustrate the conceptual and analytic dynamism of decolonial ways of living and thinking, as well as the creative force of resistance and re-existence. This book speaks to the urgency of these times, encourages delinkings from the colonial matrix of power and its "universals" of Western modernity and global capitalism, and engages with arguments and struggles for dignity and life against death, destruction, and civilizational despair.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The decolonial for resurgences, shifts, and movements -- Insurgency and decolonial prospect, praxis, and project -- Interculturality and decoloniality -- On decolonial dangers, decolonial cracks, and decolonial pedagogies rising -- What does it mean to decolonize? -- The conceptual triad : modernity/coloniality/decoloniality -- The invention of the human and the three pillars of the colonial matrix of power (racism, sexism, and nature)-- Colonial/imperial differences : classifying and inventing global orders of lands, seas, and living organisms -- Eurocentrism and coloniality : the question of the totality of knowledge -- Decoloniality is an option, not a mission.
