The Critique of Coloniality: Eight Essays (Decolonizing the Classics)

This translation of Rita Segato’s seminal book La crítica de la colonialidad en ocho ensayos offers an anthropological and critical perspective on the coloniality of power as theorized by the Peruvian thinker Aníbal Quijano. 
Segato begins with an overview of Quijano’s conceptual framework, emphasizing the power and richness of his theory and its relevance to a range of fields. Each of the seven subsequent chapters presents a scenario in which a persistent colonial structure or form of subjectivity can be identified. These essays address urgent issues of gender, sexuality, race and racism, and indigenous forms of life. They set the decolonial perspective to work, and are connected by two central preoccupations: the critical analysis of coloniality and the effort to reimagine anthropology as "responsive anthropology," a practice at once answerable and useful to the communities previously regarded as the "objects" of ethnographic thought. 
The Critique of the Coloniality makes important and original contributions to our understanding of colonial and decolonial processes, drawing on the author’s experience of feminist and antiracist movements and struggles for indigenous and human rights. This book will appeal to students and scholars working in anthropology, Latin American studies, political theory, feminist and gender studies, indigenous studies, and anticolonial, post-colonial, and decolonial thought.

A rebel and feminist, the Switzerland-born Miriam Cahn is one of the major artists of her generation. Widely known for her drawings and paintings, she also experiments with photography, moving images, sculptures, and performance art. Cahn’s diverse body of work is disturbing and dreamlike, filled with striking human figures pulsing with an energy both passionate and violent. These pieces, along with Cahn’s reflections on artistic expression, have always responded to her contemporary moment. In the 1980s, her work addressed the feminist, peace, and environmental movements, while the work she produced in the 1990s and early 2000s contains allusions to the war in the former Yugoslavia, the conflict in the Middle East, and the September 11 terrorist attacks. Her recent production tackles ever-evolving political conflicts, engaging with the European refugee crisis and the “#metoo” movement. Miriam Cahn: I as Human examines different facets of the artist’s prolific and troubling oeuvre, featuring contributions from art historians, critics, and philosophers including Kathleen Bühler, Paul B. Preciado, Elisabeth Lebovici, Adam Szymczyk, Natalia Sielewicz and .

La lucha de los movimientos sociales inspirados en el proyecto de una política de la identidad no alcanzará la radicalidad del pluralismo que pretende afirmar a menos que los grupos insurgentes partan de una conciencia clara de la profundidad de su diferencia . Esto implica una crítica a la captura de matrices y formas de ser otro por identidades globales pre-formateadas. por el derecho a la existencia de otros modos de ser y entender la justicia. la economía y la relación con la naturaleza.Este libro tiene dos ejes: uno relativo a la crítica del vacío de los rótulos de identidad. y el otro inspirado en el proceso boliviano como brújula que marca la dirección de una descomposición de la historia mestiza en historias. en plural. de comunidades constitutivas. cada una resurgiendo a través de un trabajo político de re-urdidura de su trama histórica particular.El intento de la autora es el de una convocatoria a considerar la densidad de las diferencias culturales emergentes de antagonismos históricos complejos en cada nación y en cada región. O sea. se trata de una crítica a un mapa multicultural chato y esquemático que diseña una diversidad fijada en el tiempo. reificada en sus contenidos y despojada de las dialécticas que le confieren historicidad. movilidad y arraigo local. regional y nacional.
