This book is above all a commitment to encounter. Is the result of the labor of the Working Group (Grupo de Trabajo) of the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO), which brings together people who study and research, but who, above all, carry out collective actions from social organizations to transform the reality of our continent. This character of thinking doing, or rather, of doing thinking, of the Grupo de Trabajo gives this text a peculiar cadence. A cadence that demands a collective and cooperative authorship. It is also a recovery of the struggles that precede us, the sutures of the loom of memory that patriarchal and colonial capitalism strives to pierce, and that is another of the powers of this book. The book invites to dismantle the patriarchal and colonial legacies embedded in the very foundations of hegemonic academic thought, and demonstrates the urgent need to understand this as a political task of the moment. It is organized into three main stations, which, like a train journey, can be travelled through sequentially from beginning to end, or entered randomly, stopping at one or another section according to the interests and concerns of the moment.

The book is a challenge to dominant, eminently patriarchal and colonial views and practices which structure academic knowledge Prof Dr Raquel Gutierrez, Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla
The book reminds us that the current crisis can only be explained by the continuum of racist, patriarchal, and extractivist violence that has prevailed throughout Abya Yala for over five hundred and two years Colectivo Miradas Críticas del Territorio desde el Feminismo (Ecuador)
