Literary scholars Kavish Chetty and Neil Larsen discuss celebrated decoloniality theorist Walter D. Mignolo's latest book: "The Politics of Decolonial Investigations".

Themes they touch on include:
*What is the reader's experience of Mignolo's writing?
*The background of decoloniality theory in world systems analysis and Quijano's epistemic turn
*The relationship between the German Conservative Revolution thinkers (Spengler, Schmitt) decoloniality theory draws on and its surprisingly tolerant attitude towards contemporary autocracies
*Is decoloniality an academic discipline, and how marginalized is decoloniality theory?
