Furthermore, it explores the efforts of peoples and nationalities organizations to pursue epistemic justice within the context of struggles for social change, decolonization, and self-determination. Drawing upon a wealth of empirical evidence, the analysis delves into state discourses and practices governing ancestral knowledges within the framework of the government's Knowledge Society project. It also highlights the challenges faced by leaders of peoples and nationalities organizations in their quest for the decolonization of knowledge. This monograph holds significant appeal to scholars and researchers interested in the dynamics between peoples and nationalities and Latin American states, politics of recognition and collective rights, the workings of purportedly post-neoliberal governments, the potentialities and limitations for alternative development models, the struggles of peoples and nationalities organizations for epistemic decolonization, as well as ongoing re-conceptualizations of cosmopolitanisms in the face of knowledge coloniality reconfigurations and being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 520g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032191607\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Julia von Sigsfeld","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103845478650,"sku":"9781032191607","price":136.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1668177368059_book.jpg?v=1668595125","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/ancestral-knowledges-and-postcoloniality-in-contemporary-ecuador-epistemic-struggles-and-situated-cosmopolitanisms-9781032191607","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
