In chapter 6, Roland Sintos Coloma draws on insight from the field of Ethnic Studies to explore the following components: outlining the elusive task of defining urban; delineating three decolonizing moves in relation to representation, structure, and affect; and ending with the ongoing struggles for Ethnic Studies in PK–12 schools and higher education.
