Description
Summary:The European colonial expansion in America, started in the 15th century by the Iberian powers, also promoted the colonization of knowledge, languages, memory and imaginary. Even after gaining political independence, the former colonies couldn’t break with the old structures inherited from the colonial period, whose ideological matrix, "coloniality", still produces reflections in the present, causing inequality, exploitation, discrimination and religious prejudice. Seeking a dialogue between the concept of "coloniality of power" created by Aníbal Quijano and the history of the present time, this article aims to identify the persistence of a classificatory system that reduces to cultural and religious production of enslaved indigenous and African peoples to a category of subordination and exclusion. To achieve this purpose, legal codes, texts published in newspapers and political speeches will be analyzed.
