"This is a highly welcome contribution to the international sociological literature. Readers of the English language can now have access to a set of articles on the work of one of the best and most influential Latin American social scientists of the 20th century. Quijano’s thought is central to the development of the (de)coloniality turn and to a sophisticated understanding of capitalism, power and modernity. Congratulations to the editor, Denis Alfaro Rubbo, and to all the contributors for this crucial and necessary volume."Gustavo Lins Ribeiro, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Mexico
