“Building on the call by Walter D. Mignolo and activists throughout Latin America for scholars to embrace a pluriverse of non-Western values, perspectives, and societies, this volume brings together scholars working in various postcolonial, decolonial, and alternative social theory modes. They question the hegemony of the Western tradition from a variety of perspectives, providing arguments for and examples of ways of thinking and living otherwise. Constructing the Pluriverse will be both widely read and well received by scholars across the humanities and social sciences, especially in the fields of anthropology, cultural studies, geography, and global, international, and Latin American studies.” — John Pickles, coauthor of, Articulations of Capital: Global Production Networks and Regional Transformations
