Let's decolonize philanthropy, yes!

This article is a response from Rede Comuá to the text published by João Paulo Vergueiro entitled “Decolonizing philanthropy is a concept that does not fit in Brazil”

Rede Comuá has been guiding the discussion on the decolonization of philanthropy for some time, both through published articles and debates held in various spaces, both nationally and internationally.

To position ourselves in the face of the thesis that decolonization is a concept that does not fit in Brazil, it would be enough just to mention the article published by Graciela Hopstein and Allyne Andrade in Alliance Magazine in 2022 and translated by Rede Comuá into Portuguese, published on the blog of Rede Comuá “The decolonization of philanthropy is advancing” .

Coloniality of power is a term coined by Anibal Quijano to characterize the typical pattern of global domination in the modern capitalist system, whose origins date back to European colonialism at the beginning of the 16th century. Throughout the colonial process, Europe positioned itself as the central point of civilization, most advanced in the development process, not only of politics and economics, but also of humanity itself.

Decolonial turn in philanthropy: between paradox and urgency

By Cássio Aoqui, Jéssica Gonçalves & Letícia Cardoso

“Until lions have their own historians, hunting stories will continue to glorify the hunter.”

This African proverb, already cited by intellectuals such as Emir Sader and Eduardo Galeano, expresses well the core of why it is important for us to reflect – and act – in order to promote a decolonial turn in philanthropy.
