Futuros globales, opciones descoloniales
In this voluminous installment, Walter Mignolo not only invites a decolonial magnum opus in which theory and praxis find their boundaries fused from epistemic disobedience, he also exposes the vectors that constitute the architecture of modern/colonial power and teaches the paths of re-existence opened by the unlearning of de-Westernization and decoloniality. In this era obsessed with the future, Mignolo shows that "the future arrived a long time ago" while a network of communal presents gives way to mornings of liberation in the cracks of totality. This action book calls for us to disengage from the universal rhetoric that upholds concepts such as enlightenment, development and freedom, precisely because its 'B side' implies brutalization, worsening of vital environments and forced choice of oppressions, all of which make up The Darker Side of Western Modernity.
