We are in search of a new political imagination of a common world that does not seek to replace one cosmopolitan ideology with another, but builds instead on practices of recognition, care and solidarity, already being enacted in social, indigenous, anticolonial movements and epistemologies of the South. In brief, we aspire to a cosmopolitics of inclusion.<\/p>\n
