This paper aims to reflect on the contributions of Paulo Freire to the epistemic structuring of the concept of decoloniality, coined by the “Modernity/Coloniality” Group, which, in the early 2000s, initiated a process of systematic (and ongoing) reflection on Latin American decolonial thought. In Letters to Guinea-Bissau, in particular, the author explores the proximity between the American and African continents, narrating his experience in the struggle for the decolonization of Afro-Lusophone countries. In doing so, he highlights the subjective impact of oppressive European domination, which also allows for a rereading of his work through the concepts of colonialism and coloniality, fundamental to recovering non-European narratives of societies colonized by Portugal.
