Exhaustion of Difference - The Politics of Latin American Cultural Studies

"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"
