For almost 200 years, the expression “For the English to See” has been applied in Brazilian society as part of its colloquial language. We choose to examine the adage from a perspective of decolonial resistance. We seek to interrogate how an understanding of “For the English to See” can help us to better comprehend the ways resistance is shaped and manifest in contemporary Brazilian society. To do so, we conducted in-depth interviews with 76 Brazilian executives, drawing from a decolonial framework. We contribute to knowledge on resistance in Management and Organization Studies through introducing the concept of resistance by re-existing, which is located “in between spaces” of the colonized and colonizers worlds. We reveal several subjectivation strategies of re-existing as resistance, through the lens of the “For the English to See” expression, which range on a spectrum of embodiment and concealing of coloniality. Our study advances decolonial studies through its use of hybridity and borderization concepts that aid our understanding of organizing resistance in postcolonial settings such as Brazil.

近 200 年来，“For the English to See”一词一直作为巴西社会口语的一部分应用于巴西社会。我们选择从去殖民抵抗的角度来审视这句格言。我们试图探究对“For the English to See”的理解如何帮助我们更好地理解当代巴西社会中抵抗的形成和表现方式。为此，我们从非殖民化框架中对 76 位巴西高管进行了深入访谈。我们通过重新存在来引入阻力的概念，为管理和组织研究中的阻力知识做出贡献，重新存在位于殖民世界和殖民者世界的“空间之间”。我们通过“For the English to See”表达的镜头揭示了几种作为抵抗重新存在的主观化策略，其范围包括一系列的体现和对殖民性的隐瞒。我们的研究通过使用杂交和边界化概念来推进非殖民研究，这些概念有助于我们理解巴西等后殖民环境中的组织抵抗。
