The most interesting part of the book is the concept of "Opaque and Transparent"
its how do we see African descendants, or decide not to see them. And they themselves feel they are sometimes seen, and. other times they feel they are opaque - transparent- not there at all.

Mignolo thinks the conquest after the invasion of the Americas was done with language, books and theories, religion, and social changes. Mainly books dominated and changed the Eurocentrism into a reality for all the Americas. This is a very interesting proposal because modernity itself happens while all Americans were the subjugated and controlled. He wants a form of decolonization to happen by the means of people making a revolution to the ideology of and Eurocentric pattern.
I bought the book in Peru in Spanish and I really enjoyed reading it:
Mignolo busca desmitificar la teoría Eurocéntrica. Propone que existe una subalternización cultural y epistémica que se ha hecho de las culturas de nosotros, no-europeas. Y que ahora es el momento de descolonizar las Americas.
