Abstract

This paper proposes the epistemic indignation as a logical and decolonizing way to reflect on the concept of minorities in contemporary Law. Using bibliographic research and analyzing the social history of the concept of minorities, we seek to demonstrate its ambiguity: while recognizing rights, it hides power relations which create, reinforce and update social, economic and epistemic injustices.
