description The theoretical framework of the studies stemming from the decolonial epistemological shift is grounded in the concept of coloniality. The feminist critique, specifically with the proposal of María Lugones, revised this theory by introducing the concept of gender coloniality, emphasizing the crucial importance of this oppression within the colonial system. This theory asserts the existence of, starting from 1495, a modern colonial world system of gender, built upon the centrality of the category of race in explaining the epistemological, economic, and cultural domination of the Western world over colonized territories. From a post-structuralist standpoint, we propose a historical analysisof the chronicles of the conquest of the Canary Islands, where we question the use of the category of race in the 15th century as the basis for differentiation, replacing it with others based on European colonial religious centrism, equally intersected by gender differences.

El armazón teórico de los estudios surgidos desde el giro epistemológico decolonial tiene su fundamento en el concepto de colonialidad. La crítica desde el feminismo, en concreto con la propuesta de María Lugones, revisó esta teoría con la inserción del concepto de colonialidad de género, por la importancia crucial de esta opresión en el sistema colonial. Esta teoría defiende la existencia, a partir de 1495, de un sistema-mundo moderno colonial de género, elevado sobre la centralidad de la categoría de raza en la explicación estructural de la dominación epistemológica, económica y cultural del mundo occidental sobre los territorios colonizados. Desde una postura posestructuralista, proponemos el análisis histórico de las crónicas de la conquista de las Islas Canarias, en que se poner en duda el uso de la categoría de raza desde en el siglo XV como base de la diferencia, sustituyéndola por otras basadas en el religiocentrismo europeo colonial, atravesadas igualmente por las diferencias de género.
