Enrique Dussel is a founding member and president of the Study Community for Church History in Latin America and the Association for Philosophy and Liberation. He is the author of over 50 books, including A History of the Church in Latin America and The Invention of the Americas, and has taught at Harvard, Notre Dame, Union Theological Seminary, Vanderbilt, Loyola University, and Duke. Eduardo Mendieta is associate professor of philosophy at SUNY at Stony Brook.Mendieta's knowledge and versatility in both European and Latin American philosophy make him the natural scholar to edit a collection of Dussel's work on the ethics of liberation. This is a signal contribution that points toward another paradigm of knowledge.

The aim of New Critical Theory is to broaden the scope of critical theory beyond its two predominant strains, one generated by the research program of Jurgen Habermas and his students, the other by postmodern cultural studies. The series will reinvigorate early critical theory-as developed by Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, Walter Benjamin, and others-but from more decisive postcolonial and post patriarchal vantage points. New Critical Theory represents theoretical and activist concerns about class, gender, and race, seeking to learn from as well as nourish new social liberation movements.
