| Summary |
"Aníbal Quijano: Foundational Essays on the Coloniality of Power translates the late Peruvian theorist's most important essays. Trained as a sociologist, Aníbal Quijano is widely considered a foundational figure in the fields of decolonial studies and critical theory. The essays presented in the volume encompass nearly thirty years of Quijano's work, from 1988-2015. The collection not only introduces English-language readers to Quijano's thought; it also provides a fundamentally distinct lens for reading today's world system of power from its origins in the so-called periphery, that is, from Latin America and the Global South. The introduction to the book, written by the volume's editors, Walter D. Mignolo, Rita L. Segato, and Catherine E. Walsh, contextualizes the significance and ongoing influence of Quijano's writing"-- Provided by publisher |
