ABSTRACT
The proposition of thinking about the Organizational Studies from Latin America (LA) is based on the acknowledgement that epistemology is political and that there exists an epistemology of domination inseparable from its material foundation. First, this essay discusses the meaning of LA, arguing that it is both a geopolitical space and a category of analysis. Then, it analyzes Organizational Studies in LA from a Brazilian perspective. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of knowledge based on a critical ethics that contributes towards making organizational processes that confront the multiple concrete expressions of coloniality visible, which is also relevant to struggling communities and collectives.
