Description

Relocating Identities in Latin American Cultures explores the perpetually changing notion of Latin American identity, particularly as illustrated in literature and other forms of cultural expression. Editor Elizabeth Montes Garcés has gathered contributions from specialists who examine the effects of such major phenomena as migration, globalization, and gender on the construct of Latin American identities, and, as such, are reshaping the traditional understanding of Latin America's cultural history.

The contributors to this volume are experts in Latin American literature and culture. Covering a diverse range of genres from poetry to film, their essays explore themes such as feminism, deconstruction, and postcolonial theory as they are reflected in the Latin American cultural milieu.

With contributions by:

Nayibe Bermudez Barrios Norman Cheadle Rita De Grandis Elizabeth Montes Garces Paola Hernandez Myriam Osorio Claudine Potvin Mercedes Rowinsky-Guerts Catherine Den Tandt Luis Torres Richard Young
