Houria Bouteldja, a call for decolonization

Abstract

The Akal publishing house in its collection Inter Pares, which aims to establish and promote dialogue between the global south, has published a text that is a challenge to the way in which reflection has been established in Mexico, and in Latin America in general, critical and decolonial thinking. The text to which we refer is that of Houria Bouteldja, The whites, the Jews and us. Towards a politics of revolutionary love. Let's try to go by parts. Perhaps the name of Houria Bouteldja is unknown to many Latin American readers. She is a political activist of French-Algerian origin who has become one of the critical voices in France. She is an Arab, feminist and decolonial author who has been characterized by several debates on feminism and racism that have shaken French public opinion for her way of confronting the colonial and patriarchal legacy of that country.
