This book provides an in-depth reflection on decolonial pluriversalim as an alternative way of thinking, living, producing culture, arts, aesthetics, as well as experiencing and theorizing political activisms, religion, education and feminisms. It seeks to go beyond the postcolonial critique of eurocentrism and propose to explore how decolonial epistemologies are concretely translated in ways of thinking, theorizing as well as through cultural and political practices. This book presents pluralistic and diverse voices from different disciplines and intellectual traditions drawing on Latin American and Caribbean philosophies, concepts of creolization and racialization and explores Afropean aesthetics, arts and cultural productions, religion, feminisms, fashion, education and architecture.
