Review

This call for papers for the special issue "Jusdiversity and Decoloniality: Nature, Women, and People in Latin America and Africa" by the Videre journal presents an exceptionally timely and pertinent academic endeavor. The overarching theme of "Jusdiversity and Decoloniality" is highly relevant in contemporary scholarly discourse, pushing for a critical re-evaluation of legal frameworks and knowledge production from non-Eurocentric perspectives. The specific focus on the intersection of nature, women, and people in the geographical contexts of Latin America and Africa further enhances its significance, promising rich comparative insights and a deep dive into issues often marginalized in mainstream academic outlets. The journal's Qualis B1 ranking in Law also signifies a commitment to academic rigor and a broad readership within the legal field. A significant strength of this call lies in its ambitious and inherently interdisciplinary scope. By linking concepts of jusdiversity (likely implying diverse legalities or legal pluralism) with decoloniality, and then grounding these in the lived experiences and realities of nature, women, and marginalized communities, the special issue invites contributions that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries. The coordination by a diverse group of scholars, notably including a Ph.D. student with an Indigenous affiliation (Cristiane Gomes Julião Pankararu), suggests a commitment to genuine decolonial engagement and an openness to diverse methodologies and epistemologies. This inclusive approach is crucial for fostering a truly decolonial dialogue that moves beyond mere critique to propose alternative understandings and practices. The potential impact of this special issue is considerable. It offers a vital platform for scholars to contribute innovative research that challenges colonial legacies within law and society, particularly concerning environmental justice, gender studies, and the rights of Indigenous and traditional communities in the Global South. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit theoretically robust and empirically grounded papers that engage critically with the concepts of jusdiversity and decoloniality, offering nuanced perspectives from the specified regions. This initiative promises to be a significant contribution to advancing critical legal studies, decolonial theory, and intersectional research, fostering new research agendas and facilitating crucial cross-regional dialogues between Latin America and Africa.
