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 *
