Abstract

Based on the discussion about how modern science has excluded other forms of reflection, this review discusses the book’s proposal to question the homogeneity of thought and give strength to the alternative production of knowledge that is not part of the Center-West. The authors’ objective is to challenge the imposition and decontextualization of traditional epistemology and, as a result, propose the possibility of a new way of understanding and relating to the world: the epistemologies of the South.
