This article explores the relevance of the Caribbean for understanding coloniality, decoloniality, and the decolonial turn. It confronts and starts correcting the effects of a certain Latin American–centrism in the usual ways of approaching the decolonial turn in Latin America, the Caribbean, and other regions. The decolonial turn is presented here as analytic, as historical “socio-genesis,” and, more narrowly, as a network of intellectuals known for their contributions to the understanding of coloniality and decolonia lity. The article explains various ways in which the Caribbean, Caribbean thinking, and Caribbean intellectuals have played an important role in the each of these dimensions. Resumen Este articulo explora la relevancia del Caribe para entender la colonialidad, la decolonialidad, y el giro decolonial. Confronta y comienza a corregir los efectos de cierto latinoamericano-centrismo en las formas usuales de entender el giro decolonial en America Latina, el Caribe mismo, y otras regiones. Se identifican tres sentidos distintos del giro decolonial: el giro decolonial como analitica, el giro decolonial como sociogenesis historica, y, de forma mas estrecha, el giro decolonial como una red de intelectuales que se han distinguido por sus estudios sobre la colonialidad y la decolonialidad. El articulo explica como el Caribe, el pensamiento caribeno, e intelectuales caribenos han jugado un rol importante en cada una de estas dimensiones.
