| Description | This cluster of papers explores the coloniality of power and knowledge in Latin America, focusing on decolonization, Eurocentrism, postcolonialism, and social movements. It delves into topics such as Buen Vivir, interculturality, and the impact of globalization on indigenous communities. The papers critically examine the historical, social, and epistemological dimensions of coloniality and aim to redefine knowledge production from a decolonial perspective. |
