Beskrivning
In The Fernando Coronil Reader Venezuelan anthropologist Fernando Coronil challenges us to rethink our approaches to key contemporary epistemological, political, and ethical questions. Consisting of work written between 1991 and 2011, this posthumously published collection includes Coronil's landmark essays “Beyond Occidentalism” and “The Future in Question” as well as two chapters from his unfinished book manuscript, "Crude Matters." Taken together, the essays highlight his deep concern with the Global South, Latin American state formation, theories of nature, empire, and postcolonialism, and anthrohistory as an intellectual and ethical approach. Presenting a cross section of Coronil's oeuvre, this volume cements his legacy as one of the most innovative critical social thinkers of his generation.

Recensioner i media

“I highly recommend this Reader, and hope that it can contribute to make the work of Fernando Coronil even better known and appreciated among scholars, hopefully beyond the circles of metropolitan academia too. And I am sure that a translation into Spanish would be very well received among readers in Latin American and Caribbean countries.”- Luis Angosto-Ferrández (Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research) “The Fernando Coronil Reader is an invaluable addition to the field of Latin American Studies from a myriad of perspectives–e.g. anthropology, history, cultural studies. Coronil’s work challenges us to rethink our approaches to key contemporary epistemological, political, and ethical questions.” - Gianfranco Selgas (European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies)
