"Rivera Cusicanqui is one of the most original, creative, and synthetic thinkers in this hemisphere. Her work very effectively challenges, as she puts it 'the comfortable dream of liberal society.' A much needed book." Linda Martín Alcoff, The City University of New York"By adopting the ch'ixi identity, Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui opens up possibilities in the inside/outside dichotomy for those who investigate, act, struggle and think, because she problematizes and dismantles this dichotomy. This is a necessary book."Professor María C. Lugones, Binghamton University
