Insurgent Universalism

Description

Carlos Tornel:

“We need to return to what Japhy Wilson calls “insurgent universality” – a shared struggle that doesn’t erase difference but builds on it. This isn’t about relativism or vague pluralism, but about confronting the systems that deny the existence of other worlds. It means seeing the pluriverse not as a collage of cultures, but as a convergence of struggles that interrupt the dominant order. If the pluriverse is to remain a force for change, it must stay grounded in the voices, territories, and actions of those who created it, seeking to build on identity but also to exceed it, as John Holloway argues.”
