Arguing that difference is necessarily constitutive of identity, the book provides a series of reflections on a variety of texts and topics related to identity formation via readings that transcend conventional perceptions resting on binary distinctions as well as those based on over-simplified notions of hybridity. This more open approach offers fresh and compelling ways of understanding Latin American modernity, with individual contributions that are fascinatingly revealing and rigorously argued.? ?Philip Swanson, University of Sheffield, UK 'Kefala's volume provides the reader with a compelling collection of ten thought-provoking essays that, together with her introductory essay, offer a novel and interdisciplinary understanding of the aesthetic, ideological and cultural negotiations that have reconfigured the formation of a range of Hispanic identities in the Americas over the last five centuries. What emerges from Negotiating Difference is a strong sense that we need to rethink how difference shapes identity in a problematised postcolonial world that in itself deserves rethinking.' ?Professor Will Fowler, University of St Andrews
