Reviews
“[I]ndispensable reading for all scholars and students of the question of cultural encounters, the construction and deployment of the other, the struggle and constitution of different and competing epistemologies, and the setting up of the coloniality of power/knowledge. . . . [E]xtensively
researched and carefully thought out . . . make[s] an enormous contribution
to our knowledge and understanding of the Andean post-colonial world and
the processes of subject formation that ensued from the conquest to this day.”
- Sara Castro-Klarén, MLN

“This translation of one of Rodolfo Kusch’s most important works marks a significant step in the energetic conversation that has emerged over the last decade among postcolonial, indigenous, and Latin American studies. A translation of Kusch’s work has been sorely needed, both to complement the writing of scholars including Walter D. Mignolo, who have drawn from and discussed Kusch, and to stand alongside translations of books by other Latin American and Caribbean intellectuals including Édouard Glissant, Fernando Ortiz, and Enrique Dussel.”—Michael Hames-García, author of Fugitive Thought: Prison Movements, Race, and the Meaning of Justice
“Indigenous and Popular Thinking in América is a superior work by Rodolfo Kusch, and María Lugones’s and Joshua M. Price’s superb translation is a major contribution to English-language philosophy. Kusch’s book operates on many levels, as a post-Heideggerian phenomenology of culture, an existential analysis, and a sustained reflection on Otherness.”—Mario Sáenz, author of The Identity of Liberation in Latin American Thought
