A badly told world history

Anibal Quijano's three critical contributions

Abstract

 The articulation between globalization and development not only finds its place from the eminently economic sphere, but its base is intrinsically linked to the process of colonization of Latin America just over 500 years ago. This connection was extensively worked on by Aníbal Quijano; Through the theory of the coloniality of power, he identified that globalization and development find their foundation in the process of differentiation derived from the Eurocentric vision, as well as in the process of racialization that was implanted in the region. On this context, the present study analyzes Quijano’s contributions about race, the power pattern and Modernity, insofar as its critical potential transcends the economic sphere to give way to a reordering of the history of globalization and the notion of development. that have been structurally constituted since the subjugation of the region.
