Even though colonial times seem to belong to some past centuries, today the process of coloniality still affects and permeates many people's lives. Considering that textbooks are instruments of change and leave what Eduardo Gruner calls “huellas”, analysing textbooks from a coloniality perspective appears to be imperative in this capitalist world. For this reason, this qualitative research work inquires about the extent to which Coloniality of Power is present in two EFL textbooks used in Buenos Aires Province: Phases 3 (Macmillan 2018) and Insight Pre-Intermediate level (Oxford 2018). The results show that EFL textbooks reproduce and perpetuate in different ways colonial practices through the written discourse.
