Decolonization 

Five hundred years ago, elite learned members of the Christian priesthood travelled North America to preach to the indigenous locals that they were evil pieces of shit, everything they believed was wrong, and they needed to be re-educated in order to save themselves. That was colonization.

Today, elite learned members of the Academic priesthood travel North America to preach to the non-indigenous locals that they are evil pieces of shit, everything they believe is wrong, and they need to be re-educated in order to save themselves. That is decolonization.

decoloniality 

Decoloniality denotes ways of thinking, knowing, being, and doing that began with, but also precede, the colonial enterprise and invasion. It implies the recognition and undoing of the hierarchical structures of race, gender, heteropatriarchy, and class that continue to control life, knowledge, spirituality, and thought, structures that are clearly intertwined with and constitutive of global capitalism and Western modernity. Moreover, it is indicative of the ongoing nature of struggles, constructions, and creations that continue to work within coloniality’s margins and fissures to affirm that which coloniality has attempted to negate. Decoloniality, in this sense, is not a static condition, an individual attribute, or a lineal point of arrival or enlightenment. Instead, decoloniality seeks to make visible, open up, and advance radically distinct perspectives and positionalities that displace Western rationality as the only framework and possibility of existence, analysis, and thought. Such perspectives and positionalities evoke and convoke what Maldonado-Torres refers to as a decolonial attitude (Walter D. Mignolo).

Decoloniality is a way of being in the world. The decolonial task is to change the terms of the conversation.
