“The point, however, is not where you reside but where you dwell.”
Walter D. Mignolo, The Darker Side of Western Modernity: Global Futures, Decolonial Options

“Decoloniality promotes pluriversality as a universal option—which means that what “should be” universal is in fact pluriversal, and not a single totality.”
Walter D. Mignolo, On Decoloniality: Concepts, Analytics, Praxis

“Obviously, Western Christian Europeans had the right to build their own image of the world, like anybody else who had done so before them. But it was an aberration to pretend and act accordingly as if their specific image of the world and their own sense of totality was the same for any- and everybody else on the planet.”
Walter D. Mignolo, On Decoloniality: Concepts, Analytics, Praxis
