Considering that textbooks are instruments of change and leave what Eduardo Gruner calls “huellas”, analysing textbooks from a coloniality perspective appears to be imperative in this capitalist world. For this reason, this qualitative research work inquires about the extent to which Coloniality of Power is present in two EFL textbooks used in Buenos Aires Province: Phases 3 (Macmillan 2018) and Insight Pre-Intermediate level (Oxford 2018). The results show that EFL textbooks reproduce and perpetuate in different ways colonial practices through the written discourse. Aunque los tiempos coloniales parecen pertenecer a siglos pasados, hoy el proceso de colonialidad aún afecta y permea la vida de muchas personas. Si se considera que los libros de texto son instrumentos de cambio y dejan lo que Eduardo Grüner llama “huellas”, parece imperante en este mundo capitalista analizar los libros de texto desde una perspectiva de la colonialidad. Por esta razón, este trabajo de investigación cualitativo investiga la medida en la que la colonialidad del poder está presente en dos libros de texto de inglés que se usan en la provincia de Buenos Aires: Phases 3 (Macmillan 2018) y Insight Pre-Intermediate level (Oxford 2018). Los resultados muestran que estos libros reproducen y perpetúan de distintas maneras prácticas coloniales a través del discurso escrito. Fil: Laffué, María Belén. Universidad Tecnológica Nacional.
