GONZALEZ, Miguel Alberto González  and  GONZALEZ-MONTEAGUDO, José. DECOLONIZE THE LANGUAGES OF THE POWERS. Práx. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.50, e11997.  Epub July 03, 2024. ISSN 2178-2679.  https://doi.org/10.22481/praxisedu.v19i50.11997.

Decolonizing thought, decolonizing education, decolonizing all forms of submission involves decolonizing the languages of powers, since subjugated under the languages of the powers and with colonized times we can do little to free ourselves, to emancipate ourselves. It proposes a journey to linguistic decolonization, whose central hypothesis is: every form of colonization is protected by a linguistic structure that the oppressors cannot decipher. Among several conclusions we highlight that any struggle for equity, equality, justice, freedom, and happiness is impossible if we do not change the languages that the powers impose on us.

Keywords : colonization of thought; diverter; divert; emancipatory education; languages of powers.
