Decrypting Power aims to reach a unifying concept that allows the connection of the fundamental theses stemming from critical legal studies, Subaltern studies, decolonization, law and society, global political economy, critical geopolitics and theories of de-coloniality. This volume proposes that this concept is the ‘encryption of power’, a category of analysis that reveals the weakness of political liberalism when it takes the place of the legitimate fundament of democracy, as well as its consummate capacity to conceal new mechanisms of global power. The theory of encryption of power understands that there is only a world where difference exists as the fundamental and sole order, but also that such a possibility is heavily obstructed by the concentration of power in forms of oppression. The world hangs on the thread of this entangled reality, made up of difference and its denial, of democracy and its simulations, of truth and its codifications. The decryption of power is then, above all, a theory of justice essential to radical democracy, which comes fully-equipped to prevail over the conditions that deny the possibility of an egalitarian world.

This book deploys the theory of encryption of to decrypt justice, setting in opposition Justice, written with the hegemonic capital letters of Western ideas, and justice, in its everyday workings within disparate communal forms and the exercise of multiplicity. As it decrypts justice, the book argues that late-coloniality, through its construction of the “hidden people,” shattered the possibility of true communities in the service of a transcendent model, consisting ofthe market, the constitution, the nation, and the economy. The first three chapters serve as the theoretical backbone of the book, engaging sovereignty, posthumanism, Artificial Intelligence, and epistemic injustice. Chapters 4 and 5 describe the emancipation of the people through alternate communal practices: “Quilombismo” in Brazil and “Corazonar” of Tseltal women in Mexico. Chapter 7 examines the Tosepan’s practices in Mexico to decrypt hegemonic territorial forms, and chapters 6 and 8 explore how Western judicial systems disempower the people, focusing on Central American migrants and critiques from the Colombian peace process. Edited by Ricardo Sanín-Restrepo, Marinella Machado-Araujo, and Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni, Decrypting Justice: From Epistemic Violence to Immanent Democracy is a transforming force, not only in the way which we understand reality but also in the tools with which we build it.
