Editorial Introduction: Inter-Epistemic Dialogues with Decolonial Thought from Latin America and the Caribbean

Abstract

No situation, concept or person can ever be fully understood without probing their histories. Hence decolonization and decolonial projects demand an in-depth appreciation of the history of colonization and all its supporting discourses. (Tamale, 2020, p. 1) There is a certain provincialism and even a historical myopia that does not allow us to see common origins, imbricated processes, and juxtapositions of the different colonial trajectories. (Mendoza, 2020, p. 45)
