Walter Mignolo

Walter Mignolo is a scholar and thinker who studies how knowledge, culture, and history are shaped by colonialism and power dynamics. He explores how Western ideas have dominated others and advocates for “decolonizing” thought by recognizing diverse perspectives. His work emphasizes understanding different ways of knowing from around the world, especially those marginalized by colonial history. Mignolo's insights encourage reevaluating global narratives to promote cultural diversity, social justice, and critical thinking about how knowledge is constructed and used.
