Description
Reviews

Preview
The nine essays in this volume probe the tension and interdependence between the literary and the cultural, and they demonstrate the relevance of cultural studies to a new generation of language learners in an era of globalization. Some of the topics discussed are Chicano/a writing; Caribbean film, music, religious expressions, and sport; colonial Spanish perceptions of indigenous life; ethical issues in US and Latin American business relations; and assumptions about gender and sexuality in Mexico before machismo.
"This timely work will be extremely useful to those teaching Latin American literatures and cultures, especially if they are exploring, considering, or receptive to new pedagogical approaches."
