Decoloniality is a concept of resistance. Decolonization identifies the colonial thought patterns, ideas, and discourses that still exist today, as well as the socio-political, cultural, economic, ecological and psychological power structures and practices based on them.

Their mechanisms of hierarchization and subalternization can thus be made conscious. The aim is to understand them and to assert non-hegemonic art and ist epistemologies as equals that have been suppressed, attacked and marked as "other" by Western discourses. The critique of the Eurocentric Western epistemology that enabled and justified coloniality is therefore crucial. This book is a groundbreaking and overdue game shifter that accomplishes this for the discipline of History of Art.
