Coloniality of power

This is where decolonial criticism goes beyond adding another category.

Coloniality isn't an outdated belief waiting for a better seminar.

It persists through land, law, extraction, racial hierarchy, and authority over knowledge.

An expert map may call itself complete while indigenous legal and ecological orders survive beneath it, heard at a lower volume because the dominant institution controls recognition.

You can't have a decolonial process contained to, for example, decolonizing the law curriculum.

That's good, but coloniality just didn't affect the law curriculum.

Coloniality affected the entire system.

So, in some ways, that is why you're trying to drive your decoloniality or the concepts through the Constitution.

That's why I'm driving it through the Constitution, because I'm starting with the very supreme law, because the very way that coloniality affected decoloniality the very nature and functioning of a society, decoloniality has to affect the very nature and function of a society.
