The Other Side of the Popular

Neoliberalism and Subalternity in Latin America

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"A serious study on the cultural challenges brought about by postmodern culture in Latin America is in order and largely overdue. In that sense, "The Other Side of the Popular" makes an invaluable contribution to the challenge of thinking about the present configuration of culture in the region. This book fills a gap in the area of Latin American cultural studies and it does so with serious scholarship, brilliance, and intellectual commitment."--Horacio Legras, Georgetown University
