Abstract

The article proposes to review the forms of production of comparative education in the Latin American region and relates them to some of the contributions of the decolonial perspective. Based on previous studies, it proposes the idea of Latin America as a space of circulation in which knowledge production and uses of comparative education combine. Consequently, the forms adopted by this circulation also represent forms of knowledge production. To this end, it offers a synthesis of the development of postcolonialism and the decolonial perspective, highlighting the main works in comparative education that approach this conceptual reference. It then describes the forms and conditions adopted by comparative education in the region, which leads to questions about the possibility and potential of an approach to the perspective mentioned above.
