Colonialism in Context: An Aymara Reassessment of ‘Colonialism’,‘Coloniality’ and the ‘Postcolonial World’”
(2009) In Kult p.117-129- Abstract
- This article examines how Colonialism — as a cosmologically
informed process of profound existential and political implications — is understood, experienced and conceptualized by Aymara shaman activists. By contextualizing the term Colonialism this article reassesses not only the supposed postcolonial nature of the world, but also the distinctions between colonialism and coloniality.
