The Coloniality of the Secular1 investigates the collusive ties between the modern concepts of the secular, religion, race, and coloniality in the Americas. The book explores decoloniality’s conception of the sacred in relation to revolutionary violence, gender, creolization, and racial phenomenology, demonstrating its potential for reshaping religious paradigms. Pointing out that the secular has been pivotal to regulating racial hierarchies under colonialism, An Yountae advocates for a broader understanding of religion that captures the fundamental ideas that drive decolonial thinking.
