At the crux of the novel's discourse is a polemic against neoliberalism, which it presents as a contemporary manifestation of colonial modernity. Engaging with Enrique Dussel's philosophy of 'transmodernism', this study explores Tropic of Orange as a counternarrative that interrogates both the enduring legacies of colonial modernity and the exploitative structures of global capitalism. Attuned to a Dusselian (re)vision of world order, which foregrounds the resurgence of marginalized epistemologies while eschewing cultural apologism, this article examines the novel's reclamation of myth, enchantment and cyclic temporality. It further contends that Yamashita envisions collective agency as an embodied, transnational praxis that transcends conventional geopolitical binaries by amplifying indigenous and diasporic epistemologies and fostering transversal connections that operate both intra-South and across South-North axes. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Comparative American Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
