Book presentation: After the Decolonial. Ethnicity, Gender and Social Justice in Latin America

Activity: CEDLA Lecture

 

Based on Lehmann’s recent book, this lecture will examine the sources of Latin American decolonial thought, its reading of precursors like Fanon and Levinas and its historical interpretations. In extended treatments of the anthropology of ethnicity, law and religion and of the region’s modern culture, Lehmann will set out the bases of a more grounded interpretation, drawing inspiration from Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia and Chile and from a lifelong engagement with issues of development, religion and race.
