These nationalisms mirror franquista nationalism, so they are unlike modern nationalisms in that they try NOT to hybridize (contrast García Canclini).

I’ve already written them back but I wanted to send a postscript, and desisted. I had said: to focus more on coloniality/decoloniality I can’t JUST do Ferreira da Silva. And that I couldn’t see talking about these things without at least referring to Gilmore’s work. I didn’t say, but am now thinking, hm, maybe I … More World’s fattest revision request
