Decolonial Thinking delves into the intricate web of colonial practices, terms, and ideas that have woven themselves into people's lives. It seeks to understand how the tendrils of coloniality have insidiously attached themselves to the very fabric of self-understanding. From the mundane to the profound, this exploration sheds light on our relationship with all that constitutes life.

Editors Mar a Lugones and Patrick M. Crowley have meticulously curated 11 unique articles by interdisciplinary theorists. These thought-provoking pieces compellingly address questions surrounding colonial legacies. Organized into five sections, the book navigates themes ranging from sexualities and multiple worlds to differential topographies. It also examines the transition from women-of-color politics to decoloniality, exploring resistance, coalition building, and pluriversality.

As decolonial theory gains global recognition, it has emerged as a critical lens through which we view capitalism, racism, gender discrimination, violence, and Eurocentrism. Decolonial Thinking boldly rejects oppressive rationalities, prompting fresh strategies for shared meanings. These strategies diverge radically from dominant disciplinary and academic categories of knowledge, inviting us to reimagine our understanding of the world.

Industry Reviews

"This book thinks/feels/moves us toward the social physics of peace. Liberation philosopher Audre Lorde tells us how she and her allies inadvertently find themselves within "the very house of difference." Each chapter in this book offers readers more and other doorways for entry. Prepare to experience other-wise perceptions and communal possibilities that do not lead to war. Learn to think/feel/move/act/become outside the living psychic and social colonialities of power. Dare to experience the social physics of love. As ally Third World feminist Maria Lugones says, beyond the universe shimmers pluriversality." - Chela Sandoval, UC Santa Barbara
