ABSTRACT
This essay aims to discuss the colonial relations of knowledge established through an Eurocentric humanist pattern. For that reason, we adopt a lens of analysis that focuses on criticizing categories that reinforce epistemic racism as a social mechanism determining colonial relations of knowledge and power. It seeks to discuss how resistances are organized considering the silencing of knowledge, practices and narratives of bodies racially designated as inferior. Finally, we analyze the emancipatory potential of this resistance movement, theoretical and practical, produced by other body-politics of knowing and resulted from historical struggles against Eurocentered racism/sexism.
