Intersectional Decoloniality: Reimagining International Relations and the Problem of Difference
















Marcos Scauso is chiefly concerned with the problem of difference in International Relations, and the reality of attempting to apply intersectionality practically while considering all social categorizations across the globe and how the nature of global affairs complicates this. He examines four types of thinking about the problem of difference: colonial, anti-colonial, post-structuralist, and intersectionally decolonial. His idea of an ideal ethical framework is one where we trust different ways of knowing, being, and enacting beyond our own understandings. In calling for an understanding of the "other" in the context of intersectional decoloniality, he emphasizes not prioritizing any one form of de-colonialism and instead suggests that we build a system where all voices are respected so that we reach an egalitarian epistemic process. Drawing on research from Michel Foucault and Sylvia Rivera Cusicanqui, Scauso provides constructive alternatives to some problematic solutions to the Foucauldian "problem of difference." His theoretical approach to intersectionality asks scholars to constantly problematize their own work, and to seek to understand and elucidate decolonial possibilities of equality that would not, in effect, lead to excluding or assimilating "others." In so doing, he thus urges scholars to leave all forms of knowledge open to modifications. Access a review of this book here.

Equally compelling is "All Singles," a track that showcases the group’s dynamic range. This single brings together upbeat tempos and lyrical storytelling, creating a soundscape that feels as fresh today as it did upon its release. The versatility of "All Singles" lies in its ability to adapt to various moods and settings, making it a staple for fans and newcomers alike. Its vibrant energy and catchy hooks exemplify The French Connection’s ability to innovate while remaining true to their roots.the french connection retrospective
