Colonial power and decolonial peace

Abstract

ABSTRACT Peace from coloniality has been a device of power within the invention of Latin America which has engaged in different ways of circulation and domination. For example, we see the function of the geopolitical knowledge matrix for the epistemic and practical reproduction of knowledge-power and the appropriation and imposition of a scientific community, derived from modernity, that seeks the classification and codification of a single valid kind of peace. However, it is necessary to denaturalise the structures of how the dominant peace works so that it is questioned and deconstructed, but at the same time allows the possibility of recognising other kinds of peace in Latin America.
