- Abstract
In what way can one think from the Latin-American perspective of multiculturalism, when it appears that academia has not decolonized itself from European thought? To be more specific, how is it possible to talk about multicultural communication without having decolonized from European thought yet? These two questions outline an interesting dilemma in which the Latin American academia continues to talk in European terms to analyze their social realities. Because of this, not only is a Eurocentric ideal maintained, but modern prejudices are hidden. This perpetuates the marginalization of non-European thought inside academia, continuing and legitimizing the assimilative motion against marginalized cultures, second- class citizens, and colonized people. The following paper attempts to raise an argument between different Latin American thinkers who have positioned themselves from the modern/colonization crisis, with the purpose of accomplishing a proximity to the problem observed. Meanwhile, an alternative dialogue between marginalized groups will be proposed in order to investigate alternative reflections about the indigenous realities that distance themselves from dominating European models.
