This essay presents through the literary narrative, a brief reasoning about colonization as a means of invasion legal system to produce social, educational, economic and political dependence, including customs and religion of the colonizer. As is well known, colonization has produced injustices throughout history, from slavery to genocide.

It has a documentary investigative approach that seeks to communicate the significant elements of the roots of the colonization of knowledge and reflects the acceptance of the academic challenge between power and intellectual domination as a market culture that divides the world between colonized and colonizers. Concluding that Latin America seeks intellectual gain through free and open knowledge with the application of public and open science, which benefits the collective and the egalitarian development of Spanish-speaking nations.
