Abstract

African Diaspora Religions in Latin America exist from a historical context that began in Africa and reached this continent under a colonial structure that is still possible to perceive nowadays. Decolonial authors have analyzed epistemologies of power and their harmful effects. Studying these religions is possible to understand patterns not only of the religious universe, but social, cultural and moral ones, to which we are, as a society, submitted. For decolonial authors, such as Aníbal Quijano, that will be mentioned in this paper, it is possible to think of a new way of living. To change, it is necessary to deconstruct these ideas that we think of as natural. Religion here can be a path to a new, compassionate world.
