Crossing Racial Borders

Crossing Racial Borders: The Epistemic Empowerment of the Subaltern offers an indispensable understanding and is full of accurate assessments of the miseries of contemporary ‘peripheral’ capitalism from the angle of the decolonial aspect. In the face of modern barbarism, the book's analysis encourages how the decolonization of power and knowledge can be an instrument of resistance in the battle of struggles and ideas. -- Deni Alfaro Rubbo, State University of Mato Grosso do Sul
This book, Crossing Racial Borders, is a remarkable body of scholarship. It encourages us to think more deeply about decoloniality from the lived experiences of racialised populations in the Global South. The essays and interviews bring up the voices of artists, scholars, and authors who turn decoloniality into a productive framework to address race, modernity, and empowerment. This book is a compelling contribution to critical thinking in our troubled times. -- Sarah Fila-Bakabadio, CY Cergy Paris Université
This book contributes necessary layers and sharpened dimensions to anti-racist decolonial thought. It draws from diverse epistemic undercurrents of the colonial world system­—from Black funk, autobiographies, literature, the intellectual endeavors of black scholars and activists, critical whiteness studies, and Palestinian transnational feminist thought. The interaction of such knowledges seep into the crevices and fissures from which other worlds are not only possible but long in the making. -- Mariana Mora, CIESAS—Mexico City
