“Decolonizing Mestizaje”

Mestizaje has become an important yet divisive term in disciplinary conversations on decolonialism across Latin American Studies and Chicanx/a/o and Indigenous Studies. In this chapter, I tease out the tensions and overlaps in these conversations in order to create a space for more interdisciplinary dialogue around mestizaje, including a consideration of rhetoric and composition’s contributions to these discussions. The collection, Decolonizing Rhetoric & Composition: New Keywords for Latino/a Theory & Pedagogy, and is edited by Iris Ruiz and Raúl Sanchez and published by Palgrave.
