Foundational Concepts of Decolonial and Southern Epistemologies

It is a true pleasure to (re)encounter some of the wise elders (if I may) of the contemporary global struggles against the racist, colonial, patriarchal and capitalist death project. This volume attests to the creativity, tenacity and longevity of such powerful struggles and is a wonderful gift to all, including those who are about to join. * Julia Suárez Krabbe, Roskilde University, Denmark *
