| Summary: | Excerpt: In this ambitious attempt to examine modern concepts of ‘human rights’ and ‘development,’ Julia Suárez-Krabbe gives a compelling case of what decolonial scholarship really means as an intellectual tradition in contemporary critical studies and critical political theory. Suárez-Krabbe’s work, Race, Rights, and Rebels: Alternatives to human rights and development from the global south, is a scholarly exposition on how decolonial studies can be used to interrogate and reclaim the enunciations of ‘human rights’ and ‘development’ in the contemporary time. By locating the alternative sources in understanding these concepts, it uses ‘decolonial historical realism’ to discover and understand the struggles, negotiations, dispositions, relations, continuities, and even misappropriations that give meaning to the ordering of things with its underlying perceptions and meanings from the Mamos of the indigenous peoples in Sierra Nevada de Santa Mara (Colombian Caribbean). |
