Dear friends:
This feels like a triffle –certainly, hard to feel happy about it– but I got yesterday copies of Pluriversal Politics: The Real and the Possible, a book of essays of mine just published by Duke Unievrsti Press. This is a translation of a book published in Colombia in 2018, entitled: Otro posible es posible: Caminando hacia las transiciones desde Abya Yala/Afro/Latino América. The English version includes a substantial Preface in which I do my best to discuss the potential articulations between progressive or Left politics and pluriversal politics. The rest of the book is exactly the same as the Spanish Original. Perhaps the single most important merit of the book in the current context is that it challenges mainstream notions of the real and the possible, calling forways to imagine possibility differently –what more and more people and movements today are emphasizing at present, in the sense of not going back to “normal.”
You can access the book’s Preface and Introduction from the website, https://www.dukeupress.edu/pluriversal-politics. Plus the person in charge of marketing at the press send me the follwing offer, in case any of you is interested (or pls. send the offer to others):
We are having a 50% off sale through May 1, so I encourage you to announce that your book is available on social media and in an email to colleagues and friends and urge them to use coupon SPRING50 to save.
My best wishes to all, arturo
