The longue durée of coloniality

a multidimensional analysis of neoextractivism in Latin America

Abstract

This study is part of a critical perspective that considers socio-historical processes in Latin America, from a multidimensional perspective. Through the contributions of third-world researchers, from different areas, we seek to reflect on the forms of domination and control forged by coloniality, focusing on neoextractivism and its relationship with development projects. Our intention is to contribute to the debate regarding the complexity and “the longue durée” of these phenomena, as we consider it urgent to expand both the discussion and production of scientific knowledge from a conjunctural perspective.
