About
In an op-ed, Boaventura de Sousa Santos analyses the contestation against statues as a reflection of the injustices and unjust power they represent at the given time. In particular, emphasis is placed on the topicality of colonialism and colonial relations in the European and Eurodescendant context, which is also marked by the logic of the oppression of capitalism and patriarchy.
