Each of the seven subsequent chapters presents a scenario in which a persistent colonial structure or form of subjectivity can be identified. These essays address urgent issues of gender, sexuality, race and racism, and indigenous forms of life. They set the decolonial perspective to work, and are connected by two central preoccupations: the critical analysis of coloniality and the effort to reimagine anthropology as \"responsive anthropology,\" a practice at once answerable and useful to the communities previously regarded as the \"objects\" of ethnographic thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Critique of the Coloniality makes important and original contributions to our understanding of colonial and decolonial processes, drawing on the author's experience of feminist and antiracist movements and struggles for indigenous and human rights. This book will appeal to students and scholars working in anthropology, Latin American studies, political theory, feminist and gender studies, indigenous studies, and anticolonial, post-colonial, and decolonial thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRita Segato\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor Emerita at the University of Brasilia and an anthropologist and feminist who has written extensively on gender, violence, the gender system in the Yoruba tradition, race, and coloniality.
