      title = {Decolonizing Epistemologies : Latina/o Theology and  Philosophy /},
      abstract = {Decolonizing Epistemologies builds upon the contributions  of liberation and postcolonial theories in both philosophy  and theology. Gathering the work of three generations of  Latina/o theologians and philosophers who have taken up the  task of transforming their respective disciplines, it seeks  to facilitate the emergence of new knowledge by reflecting  on the Latina/o reality in the United States as an  epistemic locus: a place from which to start as well as the  source of what is known and how it is known. The task of  elaborating a liberation and decolonial epistemology  emerges from the questions and concerns of Latina/os as a  minoritized and marginalized group. Refusing to be rendered  invisible by the dominant discourse, the contributors to  this volume show the unexpected and original ways in which  U.S. Latina/o social and historical loci are generative  places for the creation of new matrices of knowledge.  Because the Latina/o reality is intrinsically connected  with that of other oppressed groups, the volume articulates  a new point of departure for the self-understanding not  only of Latina/os but also possibly for other marginalized  and oppressed groups, and for all those seeking to engage  in the move beyond coloniality as it is present in this age  of globalization.},
