Slater formulates a newcritical theory that is adequate to the realities and possibilitiescreated by the global times in which we live, and fully capable ofaccounting for the metamorphoses of the growing inequalitiesbetween North and South."
Boaventura de Sousa Santos, University of Coimbra and Universityof Wisconsin-Madison
