Theological Metaphors in Anti-immigration Discourse
Mayra Rivera is professor of religion and Latinx studies at Harvard University. Rivera works at the intersections between continental philosophy; literature; and theories of coloniality, race, and gender—with particular attention to Caribbean postcolonial thought. Her book Poetics of the Flesh (2015) explores the relationship between discursive and material dimensions in shaping human embodiment. She is author of The Touch of Transcendence: A Postcolonial Theology of God (2007); coeditor, with Stephen Moore, of Planetary Loves: Spivak, Postcoloniality, and Theology (2010); and coeditor, with Catherine Keller and Michael Nausner, of Postcolonial Theologies: Divinity and Empire (2004).
