Struggles for Liberation in Abya Yala

Beschreibung

Perspectives from the people who have chosen to rebel and act in solidarity against the system that oppresses them In Struggles for Liberation in Abya Yala, a diverse team of well-established and rising scholars addresses the various struggles for social justice, liberation, and freedom in the US, México, and Latin America. Incorporating philosophical tradition with influence in Africana philosophy, feminism, critical race theory, ethics, and political philosophy, this provocative new volume demonstrates and advances the explanatory and normative power of Philosophy of Liberation and the Decolonial Turn through in-depth theoretical analysis of current and emerging social changes. Throughout the book, academic scholars and on-the-ground activists encourage readers to resist, take direct collective action, and stand with social movements that fight against injustice. The authors offer critiques of the colonial relationships that facilitate exploitation, promote social mobilization through the decolonization of Westernized educational practices, consider the role that gender plays in understandings of oppressive structures, discuss the animal rights movement in Latin America, identify challenges faced by Latinx philosophers and critical race scholars, and much more. Illustrating the reach, impact, and implications of radical social transformations, Struggles for Liberation in Abya Yala is a must-read for undergraduate and graduate students, educators and university lecturers, academic researchers and scholars, social and political activists, policymakers, journalists and media professionals, and general readers who are committed to liberation.
