Abstract

Instead of conforming to a temporality opposing past, present, and future, decolonial feminism embraces multiple temporalities. This vision is at odds with civilizational feminism which is in line with an incorrect view of occidental modernity and aims to “educate” individuals and societies living among communities that are considered as “outdated.”
