This lecture examines key works by Latin American essayists who develop decolonial writing styles. Anzaldúa, Gonzalez, and Rivera Cusicanqui combine autobiographical, theoretical, and political perspectives to question colonial power structures and give visibility to marginalized voices. Their texts represent a transgressive form of essay writing that critically undermines hegemonic discourses.

Part of the lecture series: HCIAS Colloquium: Dialogues across world regions.
