In this interview, Manuela Boatcă discusses the challenges posed by and the ambiguities involved in the terms “postsocialist” and “postcolonial”, their relationship to different feminisms and unequal Europes, and their connection to multiple processes and forms of racialization in the modern/colonial world-system. Through the category of “uneasy postcolonialisms”, Manuela Boatcă addresses how the coloniality of knowledge relegates certain experiences to certain spaces and assigns them a category. She argues that dismantling the categories thus constructed – from the First, Second, and Third Worlds to “Eastern” Europe, “Latin America”, and whiteness, is indispensable for the emergence of transversal coalitions.
