The Places of History: Regionalism Revisited in Latin America Paperback - 1999
by Doris Sommer (Editor)
First line
Latin American literatures are being read in many ways, here in the United States and now at the end of the millennium.
From the rear cover
Responding to the pressures of current theoretical trends toward models of cultural globalization, the essays collected here bring a historical focus to literary studies. They suggest that only by exploring the particularities of regional historical cultures can the multiple meanings of American identities be understood.
Representing a broad range of contemporary criticism, this volume features many short essays by the most well-known and respected Latin Americanists, each devoting attention to specific matters of history. The topics range from Incan architecture to Chicano and Nuyorican habitats; from turn-of-the-century Argentine criminology to Caribbean homophobia; from the rhetorics of independence and dictatorship to Mexican ambivalence about opera and Brazil's move beyond monarchy; and from the precarious survival of the Spanish language in Latin America to its paradoxical legacy of enlightenment in the Philippines.
