He articulates ways of sensing, feeling and remembering that are attuned to an aesthetic of water, earth and light. On this basis, Rivera brings forth a corporeal orientation that can be inhabited by the oppressed, one that withdraws from predominant modern\/Western conceptions of the human. By providing an aesthetic analysis of cosmological sensing, Rivera sets the stage for exploring physical dimensions of anti-colonial resistance, and furthers the Latinx and Latin American tradition of anti-colonial and liberatory philosophy. Seeing aesthetic involvements with the cosmos as a source for embodied modes of resistance, Rivera turns to the work of María Lugones and Enrique Dussel in order to make explicit the aesthetic dimensions of their work. \u003ci\u003eAndean Aesthetics and Anticolonial Resistance \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAndean Aesthetics and Anticolonial Resistance \u003c\/i\u003ewill transform how we understand and engage decolonial theory.  Rivera brilliantly moves beyond the more standard critical approaches to the impacts of colonialism and deeply engages Andean resistance.  This beautifully written book attunes readers to resistant embodiments that \u003ci\u003eexceed\u003c\/i\u003e colonialism and opens paths to new worlds. * Nancy Tuana, DuPont\/Class of 1949 Professor of Philosophy and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Penn State University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eIn this pathbreaking work Rivera engages Andean aesthetic thought without nostalgia or the intention of a “return” to an ideal indigenous past. In turning to the sense of \u003ci\u003ePacha\u003c\/i\u003e as Cosmos in Andean thought he opens new possibilities for thinking political and social resistance and liberatory transformation beyond global and Westernizing critique, strategies, and ideological praxis. Rivera’s book exposes the reader to affective and physical registers of resistance at concrete levels that in its pages begin to open for our time and beyond it. In short, Rivera’s work is visionary and utopian while unlike any other. * Alejandro A.
