FERNANDES, Filipe Santos. Mathematics and coloniality, obscure sides of modernity: decolonial turns through Mathematics Education. Ciência educ. [online]. 2021, vol.27, e21065. Epub 02-Oct-2021. ISSN 1980-850X. https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320210065.
This paper examines relations between Mathematics and Western Modernity in the conformation of the colonial matrix of power. Considering Mathematics as a racialized discipline with relations with the totality of knowledge, the paper shows how Mathematics puts into practice different dimensions of coloniality, thus revealing its effects on the dehumanization of subjects and communities. In the field of Mathematics Education, the construction of a political agenda is called for that assumes and faces the ways in which Mathematics puts coloniality into practice, challenging the pattern of world power.
