Decolonizing. Dialogue with Yuderkys Espinosa Miñoso and Nelson Maldonado-Torres.

Abstract

We have the opportunity to present an interview with two of the greatest voices of the modernity-coloniality group. Both are references, both at a theoretical and practical level, in the fight for global decolonization through their epistemological and action contributions.

Yuderkys Espinosa Miñoso, born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, is one of the most important voices on anti-racist decolonial feminism. She is also an important activist of the Latin American Group of Studies, Training and Feminist Action (GLEFAS) through which they put into practice the theoretical reflections involved in their production of knowledge.

Nelson Maldonado-Torres, born in Puerto Rico, is a professor at the State University of New Jersey. He has a great production on decolonial theory, his contributions made to the decolonial turn being especially important. In addition to his theoretical production, he is an activist involved in different social movements.
