The other voices of decolonialism. Commentary to "Beyond decoloniality: discussion of some key concepts" by David Lehmann.

  • Eduardo Zarate

This brief commentary seeks to engage in a dialogue with David Lehmann's proposal to go beyond decolonialism. It is emphasized that decolonialism is more than an academic fad in Latin America. Decolonialist thought presents political and ethical dimensions critical of Western universalism, necessary to understand the claims for recognition of subaltern groups.
