Decolonial Pluriversalism offers a unique, powerful, and crucial perspective on decolonial theories, political thoughts, aesthetics, and activisms. In going beyond a postcolonial critique of eurocentrism, it provides some of the most original interventions in the field of decolonial theory. Drawing from the Francophone worlds, Latin American and Caribbean philosophies, it explores concepts of creolization, racialization, Afropean aesthetics, arts and cultural productions, feminisms, fashion, education, and architecture.

Decolonial Pluriversalism is an exhilarating and powerfully poetic entrée for those of us in the Anglophone world, throwing us into the creative ways of existing, speaking, writing, and making knowledge that decolonial thought and practice from the creolizing Francophone world offers us as we all confront the violences of modernity. -- Lila Abu-Lughod, Joseph L. Buttenweiser Professor of Social Science, Columbia University
Decolonial Pluversalism is written in a context in which Europe as the center of the world is finally provincialized. Opening the way, and carrying new epistemologies and alternative visions of knowledges situated in the wretched of the earth, these Legba of postcolonial/decolonial theories accompany all the possibilities of a pluriversal being drawn in front of our eyes. -- Jean Waddimir Gustinvil, professor of philosophy, State University of Haïti
