Media Reviews
"De Sousa Santos does a commendable job at providing a structured methodological guide for doing research pertaining to the epistemologies of the South and addresses pedagogical challenges anticipated with the advent of the proposed conceptual shift in the thinking of political change." - Dieunedort Wandji (International Journal of Francophone Studies)
“The End of the Cognitive Empire is an outstanding book that takes forward Santos’s previous Epistemologies of the South by providing a more practical guide replete with real-world examples and experiences, many of them firsthand.”
- Sam Halvorsen (Journal of Latin American Geography) “An extraordinary compilation of Sousa Santos’ theoretical and practical contributions, The End of the Cognitive Empire, is an addition to discussions about the epistemic foundations of social struggles across the globe. Divided into three parts, each is a profound reflection on how the knowledges questioning the North are articulated to advance an anti-capitalist, anti-patriarchal, and anti-colonial agenda…. [This book is] off interest to researchers and students in the social sciences, humanities, postcolonial studies, and empirical philosophers of science….” - Leandro Rodriguez-Medina (Metascience)GoodReads Reviews
