This is a very thoughtful and powerful book, pointing to opportunities to reformulate Counseling theory, research, and practice from decoloniality perspectives, making it more culturally relevant and inclusive. The authors provide a critical and constructive analysis of the Counseling profession from its beginnings to a contemporary shifts, ones inclusive of the Global South and Indigenous Ways of Knowing, often omitted in education and training. Core values of equity, cultural humility, ethical integrity, and social justice ground the proposed reformulation of the profession, ones already recognized but not necessarily integrated in Counseling. The chapters with applications of decoloniality are rich, written by experienced practitioners. The authors do not propose scraping what is taught but rather to adapt the curriculum to integrate decoloniality. Finally, a very instructive glossary of terms for decolonial counseling is provided. I believe this book is transformative and should be recommend reading for all counselor educators. After all, counselor educators hold the responsibility to shape the profession.
