Description

The Peruvian sociologist Anibal Quijano is widely considered to be a foundational figure of the decolonial perspective grounded in three basic concepts: coloniality, coloniality of power, and the colonial matrix of power. His decolonial theorizations of these three concepts have transformed the principles and assumptions of the very idea of knowledge, impacted the social sciences and humanities, and questioned the myth of rationality in natural sciences. The essays in this volume encompass nearly thirty years of Quijano's work, bringing them to an English-reading audience for the first time. This volume is not simply an introduction to Quijano's work; it achieves one of his unfulfilled goals: to write a book that contains his main hypotheses, concepts, and arguments. In this regard, the collection encourages a fuller understanding and broader implementation of the analyses and concepts that he developed over the course of his long career. Moreover, it demonstrates that the tools for reading and dismantling coloniality originated outside the academy in Latin America and the former Third World.

Reviews
"As the author who coined the widely used concept of 'coloniality,' there is an urgent need for the works of Anibal Quijano to be available in English. His work is essential for the study of colonial cultures and societies and also for the analysis of contemporary times, which are marked by the perpetuation of colonial systems of domination. This book will enrich and advance not only Latin American studies but sociology, political science, anthropology, race and ethnic studies, and the humanities more broadly." -- Mabel Morana, author of * Philosophy and Criticism in Latin America: From Mariategui to Sloterdijk *
"Anibal Quijano reviews the absences caused by Eurocentrism in the understanding of Latin America and the Caribbean and shows how the coloniality of power fragilized our nation-states by imposing race from the outset to classify, dominate, and exploit us. Hence, strengthening our national identities becomes indispensable to hindering the erosion of our states and to warding off the threats of the imperial bloc, led by the United States, against life on planet Earth." -- Jean Casimir, author of * The Haitians: A Decolonial History *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
