• Resumen

  • While I acknowledge the contributions and infuences of Anglo-American academia, I aim to challenge its dominant hegemony. Since the advent of postcolonial and decolonial studies, Latin American scholars have highlighted the direct correlation between colonialism and extractivism. Galeano traces how global capitalism has impacted the region since the Spanish Conquest, asserting that in Latin America everything has been converted into European or later North American capital, accumulating in distant centers of power. In the late 1980s, Peruvian intellectual Aníbal Quijano extended Galeano's geopolitical analysis to encompass power and knowledge. Quijano argued that capitalism, a pattern of domination/exploitation/confict articulated around the capital-commodifed labor axis, but which integrates all other historically known forms of work, has been built with America for 500 years as a global power structure.
