Since the beginning of this century in the main universities of the world from UCL (USA), through the Free University of Berlin, (Germany), to Cambridge (UK), a deep debate has begun for the decoloniality of studies in social sciences and sociology. The Series proposed here focuses on Latin American writers and theories that make it possible on the one hand to initiate (and founding) any type of postcolonial reflection and also an alternative theoretical practice by making visible the heritage of theory not yet known from Latin America.
If you wish to submit a book proposal for the series, please contact Adrian Scribano at [email protected] or Emily Briggs [email protected]
