Sumario:This paper analyzes the Decolonial Turn in the XXI century. The theoretical reflection on the Decolonial Turn is recent and is linked to Latinos at North American universities. There is still no accurate definition for it or a homogeneous community that can be strictly circumscribed to it. This is a developing concept, which is worked out by a heterogeneous group of professors and intellectuals who combine theory and practice to make sense of a series of serious concerns related to the criticism of the coloniality of power. Given the breadth of the subject, I will just mention a few topics, authors, and literature to get an idea about it.
