Description: Catherine E. Walsh examines social struggles for survival in societies deeply marked by the systemic violence of coloniality to identify practices that may cultivate the possibility of living otherwise.
Review Quotes: "The virtues of Rising Up, Living On are many. First, it is beautifully written with prose that flows like refreshing water at the edge of a desert. This makes sense, since an ongoing critical concern in the text is dehumanization. . . . Second, there are so many gems from thought across the Global South. As the text begins reflectively in the United States with the author's realization of settler colonialism being hidden in plain sight, the journeys that follow facilitate the reader joining her along with those she reads, re-reads, and knows into the reality beneath the colonial veils of denial. These gems are not only the rich array of theoretical insights, stories of resistance in the face of despair, and artistic representations, but also portraits of different ways to live thought and gender."--Lewis Gordon "Blog of the APA"
