Abstract	This article analyzes contemporary theories of decoloniality at work in Latinx Writing Studies scholarship. We argue that the intellectual articulation of Latinx writing as a signifier of resistance to Western epistemologies of writing on the grounds of its mixed identity not only reproduces the very problems associated with purity that have been associated with the "West" but also, and more importantly, reproduces the very conditions of epistemological expropriation that decoloniality aims to unwork. Instead of thinking Latinx writing as a topos of resistance to Western epistemologies of writing we propose to think Latinx writing as the site of a crisis internal to the possibility of knowing in general, as the absolute limit to all epistemologies of writing. (As Provided).
