1 I am grateful to Ulrike Roth and Franziska Müller for their comments on my chapter.

2 The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which was implemented on 1 January 1994, established a free trade zone between Canada, Mexico and the United States. In the course of the preliminary hearings, in February 1992, the Mexican parliament decided to modify Article 27 of the constitution, which had secured the collective access to land since the Mexican Revolution. Ejido lands, areas of communal land mainly used for agriculture, can be privatized ever since. Many indigenous social movements have considered this neoliberal land reform as an attack on communitarian systems of government and, thus, as a threat to indigenous livelihoods.

3 The concept of social worlds focuses on collective actions and processes of meaning making, or in Howard. S. Becker’s words people ‘doing things together’ (cited in Clarke 2005, 109).

4 It is important to mention that this horizontally oriented method of adult education should not be mistaken as a decolonial method per se as its core concepts like ‘awareness-raising’ or ‘democratization’ are rooted within the ‘coloniality of power’ (Quijano 2000). Nonetheless, central considerations of Freire’s and Fals Borda’s approaches regarding the design of a critical and dialogical research process have been fundamentally addressed in decolonial methodologies (Meckesheimer 2013).
