Abstract
This short essay offers a critical overview of Joao M. Paraskeva’s book Conflicts in Curriculum Theory: Challenging Hegemonic Epistemologies inviting TCI followers to a new reading of his theories under a different approach of the postcolonial dialogues, focusing on its contemporaneity, complexity and the uses of the idea of epistemicide to give texture to the dialogues about internationalization in the field of curriculum. Argues that the book is based on a materialistic critique of all aspects of American democracy; it revives Paulo Freire's legacy; and it renews the internationalization debate, pulling together all strings of critical thinking, magisterially crowned with the use of Boaventura de Sousa Santos's idea of epistemicide. Finally, underlies that Paraskeva’s political discourse has commonalities with the thinking of Noam Chomsky and Slavoj Žižek, two of the most crucial guides for the understanding of complexity and fragmentation of the world today and the deterritorialization in the field of curriculum.
