Local Histories/global Designs: Coloniality, Subaltern Knowledges, and Border Thinking

Description

‘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.
