This translation of Rita Segato’s seminal book La crítica de la colonialidad en ocho ensayos offers an anthropological and critical perspective on the coloniality of power as theorized by the Peruvian thinker Aníbal Quijano. Segato begins with an overview of Quijano’s conceptual framework, emphasizing the power and richness of his theory and its relevance to a range of fields. Each of the seven subsequent chapters presents a scenario in which a persistent colonial structure or form of subjectivity can be identified. These essays address urgent issues of gender, sexuality, race and racism, and indigenous forms of life. They set the decolonial perspective to work, and are connected by two central preoccupations: the critical analysis of coloniality and the effort to reimagine anthropology as "responsive anthropology," a practice at once answerable and useful to the communities previously regarded as the "objects" of ethnographic thought. The Critique of the Coloniality makes important and original contributions to our understanding of colonial and decolonial processes, drawing on the author’s experience of feminist and antiracist movements and struggles for indigenous and human rights. This book will appeal to students and scholars working in anthropology, Latin American studies, political theory, feminist and gender studies, indigenous studies, and anticolonial, post-colonial, and decolonial thought.

'Local Histories/Global Designs' is an extended argument about the '"coloniality' of power. In a shrinking world where sharp dichotomies, such as East/West and developing/developed, blur and shift, Walter Mignolo points to the inadequacy of current practices in the social sciences and area studies.

This translation of Rita Segato's seminal book La crítica de la colonialidad en ocho ensayos offers an anthropological and critical perspective on the coloniality of power as formulated by the Peruvian thinker Anibal Quijano. Segato begins with an overview of Quijano's conceptual framework, emphasizing the power and richness of his theory and its relevance to a range of fields. Each of the seven subsequent chapters present scenarios in which a persistent colonial structure or form of subjectivity can be identified. These essays address urgent issues of gender, sexuality, race and racism, and indigenous forms of life. They set the decolonial perspective to work, and are connected by two central preoccupations: the critical analysis of coloniality and the effort to reimagine anthropology as anthropology on demand, answerable and useful to the communities previously regarded as the objects of ethnographic thought. A Critique of the Coloniality makes an important and original contribution to the understanding of colonial and decolonial processes, drawing the author's experience of feminist and antiracist issues and struggles for indigenous and human rights. This book will appeal to students and scholars working in anthropology, Latin American studies, political theory, feminist and gender studies, indigenous studies, and anticolonial, post-colonial, and decolonial thought.

"The twenty essays in this volume -- twelve in English and eight in Spanish -- present case studies of colonization and its consequences in North, Central, and South America. The introduction lays the theoretical foundation for the book's division into sections on colonialism, coloniality, and decolonization. Individual essays engage with colonial practices in the Aztec empire as well as under European imperialism, projections of tropicality and wilderness, the use of religious symbols, ethnicity, mestizaje, and resistance. Among the lasting impacts of colonialism, topics like U.S. leadership/neo-imperialism, ghettoization, the situation of the indigenous population, reinterpretations of cultural identity and gender, and (artistic) resistance to established hierarchies are addressed. While, historically, colonialism in the Americas has ended, its aftermath continues in many instances in a condition of coloniality and inequality, but also in efforts to decolonize the Western Hemisphere"--
