Reviews

'Based on extraordinary collaborations with artists and activists from Argentina, Brazil and Colombia, this indispensable and timely book demonstrates the affective power of artistic performances to challenge and unsettle racist stereotypes and prejudices while articulating positive visions of racial equality.' Gaston Gordillo, author of Rubble: The Afterlife of Destruction 'This book is an innovative, relevant, and timely volume that is the product of a long-term collaboration between artists, activists, and scholars. It should be essential reading for these times of civilizational crisis when there is a rise of racist necropolitics and neofascism. This kind of research, committed to imaginative ways of engendering and disseminating decolonial critique and transformative antiracism, is a valuable tool of radical vitalism and an important resource for hope.' Agustin Lao-Montes, University of Massachusetts, Amherst 'This is an important and welcome contribution to Latin American studies, art theory, activism, and theorizing social inequities. Varied in approach, style of writing, and topic, this collaboration is a testament to participatory art, like an orchestra, mural, or a theatre piece.' Doris Sommer, Harvard University 'This book places art at the center of antiracist practices in Latin America. Moving beyond stories of harm and loss, it explores how Indigenous and Black communities transform their worlds through creation-crafting futures shaped by affection, resistance, and the boundless possibilities that their art is already bringing to life.' Felipe Tuxá, Universidade Federal da Bahia
