Decolonial Feminism in Abya Yala: Caribbean, Meso, and South American Contributions and Challenges provides a robust framework. As editors Yuderkys Espinosa-Miñoso, Lugones, and Nelson Maldonado-Torres write, the volume offers “a glimpse into a rich variety of approaches, voices, questions, and contributions that are part of Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx decolonial feminism...." [This book] has the potential to catalyze solidarity beyond borders, illustrating the possibilities of what the editors call “the world that we want and to which we belong.”
