Reviews

A wide-ranging, timely, and provocative set of reflections on the current state of critical theory in the broad sense of that term. Combining theoretical sophistication with deep political engagement, this volume breathes new life into old questions about the shape and direction that the emancipatory critique of domination should take in our present. Amy Allen, Liberal Arts Professor of Philosophy and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, The Pennsylvania State University, USA -- Amy Allen, Liberal Arts Professor of Philosophy and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, The Pennsylvania State University, USA What will emancipation look like in the 21st century? This book makes an important contribution in exploring this issue, that will be of interest to academics and activists alike. It combines theoretical approaches with the analysis of the most important events of our times: the environmental crisis, the rise of a global far-right “populist” current, or the transformations of social movements in the digital age, among others. -- Razmig Keucheyan, professor of sociology at the University of Paris, France and author of Left Hemisphere The European Enlightenment displaced the theological hubris of the cero point installed by Western Christian theology. Its exportation and importation to Spain and to the Spanish colonies, had enormous political repercussions. Santiago Castro-Gómez masterfully traces this trajectory Eurocentric expansion in a tour the force that shifts the gaze and looks at Europe from the existential and historical perspective of the Spanish colonies. -- Walter D. Mignolo, author of The Darker Side of Western Modernity: Global Futures, Decolonial Options (2011)
