Rezensionen

"As someone who lives in one of the very few political colonies left in the world, Puerto Rico, I believe this to be an indispensable volume for all concerned with the ravages of coloniality, social injustice and climate change. It also provides challenges to ongoing crises and the possibilities of a praxis for change which undergirds hope."

Irma Serrano García, University of Puerto Rico Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico
