Aníbal Quijano (17 November 1928 – 31 May 2018) was a Peruvian sociologist and humanist thinker, known for having developed the concepts of "coloniality of power" and "coloniality of knowledge".[1] His body of work has been influential in the fields of decolonial studies and critical theory.

Education and academic career

[edit]

Quijano received a Bachelor's degree from the National University of San Marcos (UNMSM), where he enrolled in various courses on Latin American history, anthropology, sociology and law.[2] He later obtained a Master's degree at the Latin American Social Sciences Institute (FLACSO) in Santiago de Chile.[2] He subsequently returned to Lima to study for a PhD at the University of San Marcos, which he completed in 1964.

His PhD examined the emergence of rural-to-urban Indigenous migrants in Peru and the changing roles and contexts of ethnic identity in Latin America.[2] Until 1995, he was senior lecturer at the Faculty of Social Sciences of San Marcos.

He became a professor of the Department of Sociology at Binghamton University, New York. Quijano held several positions as a visiting professor in the social sciences at universities worldwide: Maison des Sciences de l'Homme (Paris), University of São Paulo, University of Puerto Rico, University of Hannover, Free University of Berlin, National University of Ecuador, National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), Universidad de Chile, Latin American School of Economics (ESCOLATINA), and George Washington University[citation needed]. He published works on colonialism, politics, democracy, globalization and other social issues.
