Description
Decolonizing Epistemologies: A New Approach to Understanding Latina/o Reality. This book brings together the work of three generations of Latina/o theologians and philosophers who aim to transform their disciplines by reflecting on the Latina/o reality in the United States as an epistemic locus. The contributors explore how U.S. Latina/o social and historical loci are generative places for creating new matrices of knowledge, challenging dominant discourses and offering alternative perspectives. By examining the Latina/o experience, the authors seek to develop a liberation and decolonial epistemology that can inform not only the self-understanding of Latina/os but also the understanding of other marginalized groups. This volume articulates a new point of departure for those seeking to move beyond coloniality in an age of globalization. Through their work, the contributors show how U.S. Latina/o reality is intrinsically connected with that of other oppressed groups, and how this connection can lead to new forms of knowledge and understanding.
