Decolonial Thought in Brazilian Philanthropy
The accumulation of wealth in Brazil, a country marked by deep inequalities, has always been tied to practices rooted in the history of colonialism.
To explore philanthropy in Brazil is, inevitably, to speak of colonialism. The foundations and institutes operating in Brazil today were born from fortunes accumulated from colonial plunder, slavery, and territorial exploitation.
The conversation on decolonial philanthropy is not limited to Brazil, as publications and conferences on the topic have increased in the Global North in recent years.
