The Coloniality of Power in Immunology
Abstract
The dominant language of modern immunology is one of perpetual conflict. This language describes a biological war waged at the microscopic level, where the body’s defenses mount a sophisticated attack against microbial invaders. The system maintains a vigilant surveillance for foreign antigens, deploying specialized armies of lymphocytes, phagocytes, and natural killer cells to patrol the body’s frontiers.
