A distinctive focus of 19th- and 20th-century Latin American
philosophy is the convergence of identity formation and political
liberation in ethnically and racially diverse postcolonial
contexts. From this perspective, Omar Rivera interprets how a "we"
is articulated and deployed in central political texts of this
robust philosophical tradition. In particular, by turning to the
work of Peruvian political theorist Jose Carlos Mariategui among
others, Rivera critiques philosophies of liberation that are
invested in the redemption of oppressed identities as conditions
for bringing about radical social and political change,
foregrounding Latin America's complex histories and socialities to
illustrate the power and shortcomings of these projects. Building
on this critical approach, Rivera studies interrelated
epistemological, transcultural, and aesthetic delimitations of
Latin American philosophy in order to explore the possibility of
social and political liberation "beyond redemption."
