The limits radiate out into the networks of subalternities, locationisms, Area Studies/Cultural Studies, globalization and transculturation-and beyond. In these pages high theory is at home with Latin American intellectual history and deft textual analysis."-Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, author of A Critique of Postcolonial Reason: Toward a History of the Vanishing Present "With extreme clarity of argument and intellectual sophistication, this book subjects the field's epistemic diagram to a radical questioning that upsets the sociological and literary conventionalism of Latin American thinking on identity and difference, globalization and locality, and culture and politics. The rigor and positional force with which this book deploys its polemical apparatus will alter the academic pathways of reflection on Latin America."-Nelly Richard, Editor, Revista de Critica Cultural
