South-South Epistemologies: from the sea that separates us to the bridges that unite us
Do mar que nos separa às pontes que nos unem
by Alex Villas Boas, Anor Sganzerla, Iziquel Radvanskei, Sérgio Luis do Nascimento
In this book, in addition to the epistemological and anthropological chapters, texts that problematize coloniality and decoloniality are included. These conceptions dynamize the approach of world critical thinking from the place of reflection of authors from the African and Latin American continents. The topics discuss the role that epistemic racism played in the reproduction of privileges in the social structure of contemporary thought. Thus, epistemological presuppositions worked here indicate a vision of the world and of being human. Those who appreciate a good read will identify new horizons and the breaking of boundaries of Afrocentricity and epistemological ancestry of diasporic thought in the four axes (Philosophy, Bioethics,Theology and Human Rights).
