"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) "Rising Up, Living On stands as an emblematic testament to the power of decolonial thought and action and stands as a pandemonium space in academic literature, disrupting traditional paradigms and offering an  introspective look into the myriad layers of coloniality. By challenging researchers to delve into the complexities of entangled embodiments, subjectivities, and histories, the book acts as a beacon, guiding us through the chaos and urging a more intimate, nuanced approach to understanding people and their narratives." - Omi Salas-SantaCruz (Women's Studies Quarterly) "Rising Up and Living On is incredibly capacious-not only in its methods, but in its relational ethos, drawing connections between praxes of decolonial re-existence from peoples and practices throughout the world. This is a strength as well as a challenge: the book shows how collective insurgent acts of crack-making emerge at varying scales across forms, and for a reader not accustomed to decoloniality’s wide reach, the shift between accounts may be difficult."- Maryam Ivette Parhizkar (Theatre Journal)
